S14572: Everything you ever wanted to know about black holes! in HSSP Summer 2021 (Jul. 10 - 31, 2021)
Have you ever wondered about any of the following questions: How do we *see* black holes, if they are black? What is inside of a black hole's event horizon? What are the different types of black holes? What do *gravitational waves* tell us about black holes, and how? If so, this is the class for you! All of these questions will be answered, and more! Come along to satisfy your curiosity about some of the most fascinating and mysterious objects in the Universe – and have fun along the way.


S14448: Antiferromagnetism!! in Spark 2021 (Mar. 13 - 27, 2021)
Everyone knows what magnets are, but not everyone knows what antiferromagnets are. Come learn about antiferromagnets - why they exist, what makes them different from (ferro)magnets, and how the computers of the future might use them!


S14466: Active Galaxies & Supermassive Black Holes in Spark 2021 (Mar. 13 - 27, 2021)
Almost all galaxies have a supermassive black hole at their center, and some of these black holes are being fed by large amounts of gas. This feeding process grows the black hole and also releases huge amounts of energy and light, from X-rays to radio waves. We call galaxies whose black holes are being fed “active galaxies”. Come on a journey to the center of these active galaxies, as we learn about the cosmic beasts that power them!
