Heino Falcke will elucidate the phenomenon of black holes in an online talk.

One of the leading scientists in the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration and author of the bestselling book “Light in the Darkness - Black Holes, the Universe and Us", Prof. Dr. Heino Falcke from Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen will give an online talk in the Graz physics colloquium on Tuesday January 18 at 4:15 pm with the title

"What’s in a shadow? Past, Present and Future of Black Hole Imaging”.

We are looking forward to an interesting talk which will, in a very literal sense, present the fascinating phenomenon of black holes in new light.
