Children's Museum & Science Center
There’s a place from which nothing escapes, not even light, where time and space literally come to end – experience “Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity” at the Rocky Mount Children’s Museum & Science Center’s Cummins Planetarium.

Narrated by actor Liam Neeson, the planetarium’s newest full dome video presentation delivers the first scientifically generated depiction of a trip inside a black hole and presents compelling evidence that a super-massive black hole may inhabit the heart of our own Milky Way galaxy!

Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity
Children's Museum & Science Center
There’s a place from which nothing escapes, not even light, where time and space literally come to end – experience “Black Holes: The Other Side of Infinity” at the Rocky Mount Children’s Museum & Science Center’s Cummins Planetarium. Zip through other-worldly wormholes, and witness the violent death of a star and subsequent birth of a black hole. Narrated by actor Liam Neeson, the planetarium’s newest full dome video presentation delivers the first scientifically generated depiction of a trip inside a black hole and presents compelling evidence that a super-massive black hole may inhabit the heart of our own Milky Way galaxy!
