The Search for Black Holes

This Science Screen Report details the long history of speculation that led to theoretical awareness of black holes, as well as the eventual confirmation that they exist based on observations by the Hubble Space Telescope and terrestrial radio telescopes. The program presents solid discussions of the relationship these objects have to quantum particle behavior, antimatter, and the origins of the universe. A viewable/printable instructor’s guide is available online. Correlates to National Science Education Standards. Produced in association with the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology and the Junior Engineering Technical Society. (26 minutes)
