Black Holes: Small, Medium, and Huge

09/09/03

Physics Café presents
Jay Pasachoff, Field Memorial Professor of Astronomy and Director of Hopkins Observatory, Williams College.
Tuesday, Sept. 23, 7:30 p.m.; Emerson Suites.

To astronomers, black holes have changed from weird possibilities to common occurrences. They are turning up all over the universe, with black holes containing millions or billions of times the sun's mass taking up the centers of galaxies. Professor Pasachoff will discuss the basics of black holes and describe how black-hole hunters have succeeded in bagging their quarry.

The Physics Café is a new campuswide lecture series sponsored by the physics department of Ithaca College and the American Astronomical Society. An informal talkback session with the speaker will immediately follow each presentation.

The event is free and open to the public. Coffee will be served, along with cookies and biscuits.
