Ohio State Astronomy and Astrophysics is pleased to announce that we will have our next public webinar, featuring Professor Laura Lopez + a black hole panel, to learn all about the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way, the subject of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics. 

Prof. Lopez will begin with a 30-minute presentation on the significance of the work of Drs. Andrea Ghez and Reinhard Genzel in probing the center of the Galaxy and what we know about our own supermassive black hole. Followed by a panel discussion with Prof. Lopez, Prof. Annika Peter, and Dr. Alexander Stephan.

We will then open up the floor to questions for our panel of black hole experts, so bring your questions!
