The Astronomy Center has provided educational resources to introductory astronomy educators since 2003. Over the past 20 years, the rapid pace of discovery has rendered some of our linked resources obsolete. Thus, the Astronomy Center will be decommissioned on March 1, 2022. Our highest quality resources will be retained on ComPADRE.org.
This website helps users to better understand black holes. It includes an activity, a PowerPoint presentation and four movies. Students use the online Black Hole Encyclopedia, as well as real and current data on supermassive black holes as they work through these activities. This is part of a larger collection from McDonald Observatory.
