Andrea M. Ghez — From the Possibility to the Certainty of a Supermassive Black Hole

7:30 PM

The Brno Observatory and Planetarium invitation to a lecture by Andrea M. Ghez. Discover how decades of groundbreaking observations have confirmed the existence of a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. Using cutting-edge imaging and the tracking of stellar orbits, this talk reveals surprising features of the Galactic Center and offers new insights into how black holes grow and influence their host galaxies—as well as how gravity behaves in extreme conditions.

CEPLANT International Summer School on Plasma-Surface Engineering

The summer school programme introduces the fundamentals of low-temperature plasmas, the development of cold plasma sources, plasma–surface interactions, and modern diagnostic and characterisation techniques. It also presents cutting-edge applications of plasma technologies in nanomaterials, energy systems, environmental remediation, agriculture, and biomedicine. The programme includes approximately 15 lectures, a guided tour of CEPLANT laboratories, and an opportunity to discuss research in a friendly and informal atmosphere.
