Subject: Ask a Scientist - Jan 11th - Black Holes

THIS MONTH'S TOPIC: Black Holes, Space Warps, Time Machines: Einstein's
Universe in Everyday Language

Welcome to the bizarre and wonderful world of black holes‹collapsed stars
where gravity has overwhelmed every other force in the universe. In the
neighborhood of these stellar corpses, strange things happen to space, time,
and the unwary visitor. Learn why falling into a black hole is definitely a
once-in-a-lifetime experience, how black holes make a serious kind of time
machine possible, and how new instruments have allowed astronomers to detect
the presence of these elusive dark objects in our galaxy and beyond.

SPEAKER: Andrew Fraknoi; Chair, Astronomy Program, Foothill College
WHEN: Wednesday, January 11th, 7:00 pm
WHERE: The Bazaar Cafe, 5927 California St. (21st Avenue) San Francisco

And by the way, thank you to everyone who made the Ask a Scientist Holiday
Puzzle Party so much fun. Puzzles and solutions are now
