NOVA – Black Hole Apocalypse

They are the most enigmatic, mysterious, and exotic objects in the universe: black holes. They’re also the most powerful; their gravity is so strong it can actually capture light. And they’re the most destructive, swallowing particles, dust, gas, planets, even giant stars. Anything that falls into them vanishes… gone forever. But now, astrophysicists are coming to realize that black holes just might be integral to the structure of the universe— and our very existence.

Join astrophysicist Janna Levin and others as they hunt for clues about the nature of black holes. NOVA’s “Black Hole Apocalypse” premieres January 10, 2018 on PBS.
