Black Holes there is NO ESCAPE!.

Join us as we bend space and time to reach the bathrooms on the other side of the galaxy. Find out how Black Holes are made. We will use the "I" word to travel to a distant star just before it's death. We will warp the fabric of space and survive to tell about it. Find out your connection to the elements and how our atmosphere protects us...... Follow the sun through its old age and make your own neutron star. Find out how with Skip Bird, Observatory Director of the Westminster Astronomical Society. Learn fun and unique ways to leave the planet, journey to the stars and still be back in time for dinner.
