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.

An interview with Assoc. Prof. Pavel Dvořák

Pavel Dvořák has been working at the Faculty of Science since the beginning of February as Vice-Dean for Education Development. “I’d like to ease the burden on teachers. Efficiency could be improved by adjusting the structure of courses, especially electives with very small enrolments,” he says. In the interview, he also explains why it can be useful for teachers to have substitutes in some courses and highlights the benefits of sharing ideas and experience among colleagues.
