Summary
Have you ever wondered what black holes are? We physicists do - every day! Using math, we try to decipher nature’s secrets, but equations and words alone can’t capture their full wonder. We need creative visual narratives. This project joins scientists from the Niels Bohr Institute and artists from VIA’s Graphic Storytelling Program to bring black hole science into life as comics and graphic novels.
