# Event Details - **Event Name**: Black Holes: Scientific Discovery and the Cosmic Frontier - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 11 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Thu, 11 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-06:00) - **Event Description**: How the most mysterious objects in space are being understood by astronomers.About this EventBlack Holes: Scientific Discovery and the Cosmic FrontierFrom their first hints in Einstein's work over a century ago, black holes have transitioned from fringe theory to established science and popular culture. I will explore about the history that led to the discovery of gravitational waves and imaging a black hole's shadow. Current and future telescopes promise many new discoveries over the next few decades.BENJAMIN BOIZELLE -- After graduating from Brigham Young University – Provo with a BS in Physics & Astronomy in 2012, Benjamin Boizelle pursued graduate studies at the University of California, Irvine, earning MS and PhD degrees in Physics and Astronomy. During these years, he also taught introductory astronomy courses at nearby Santa Ana College. In 2018, he began working with Professor Jonelle Walsh at Texas A&M University as a postdoctoral researcher. In 2020, he began as an assistant professor at Brigham Young University. In addition to supermassive black hole mass measurements, Dr. Boizelle's research interests include active galaxies, dust attenuation, radio astronomy, and transient astronomical phenomena.https://physics.byu.edu/department/directory/boizelleThis event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited.
