Astronomy on Tap: Spacetime has curves

Astronomy on Tap is a (FREE) series of events aimed at making the latest research in astronomy and space accessible to the public, with fun talks given in simple ENGLISH, and quiz, and plenty of time formingling between our speakers and guests.

Albert Sneppen (KU): is a Masters student and will talk about the paths of light in spacetime to depict what we will see on the edge of a black hole.
