Main HallThis event is hosted by the Athenian Parent Association and is open to all. Come learn with us!
Black holes are one of the most remarkable predictions of Einstein’s theory of gravity: so much material is compressed into such a small region of space that nothing, not even light, can escape. Black holes have also captured the public imagination, and are commonly featured in popular culture. In the past few years, the world-wide Event Horizon Telescope released the first real (non-Hollywood!) picture of gas around a black hole. Dr. Quataert will describe how these observations were made and what they have taught us about black holes.

Vesak Day
On Vesak Day, Buddhists all over the world commemorate events of significance to Buddhists of all traditions: The birth, enlightenment and the passing away of Gautama Buddha. As Buddhism spread from India it was assimilated into many foreign cultures, and consequently Vesak is celebrated in many different ways all over the world. In India, Vaishakh Purnima day is also known as Buddha Jayanti day and has been traditionally accepted as Buddha's birth day.Art Opening & Reception
