Synopsis
Beyond an event horizon lies a black hole– nature’s ultimate abyss, a gravitational trap in space. The darkest thing in the universe, a black hole’s gravity is so powerful that not even light can escape.

This award-winning documentary explores what happens at the very centre of the most mysterious objects known to science. Using spectacular computer graphics, viewers learn where a black hole as massive as five billion suns can be found, and how ‘spaghettification’ would occur if you came too close... Britain’s leading black hole hunter joins forces with Professor Stephen Hawking and Homer Simpson (among others) to illuminate this darkest of dark phenomenon. An imaginative, intelligent and mind-boggling experience.
