Dr. Richard Pogge will present information on the nature of black holes and some of their surprising properties. Dr. Pogge regularly works with the Hubble Space Telescope and is actively involved in the design and construction of astronomical instruments. He received his B.S. in Physics from Caltech in 1983, and his Ph.D. in Astronomy in 1988 from UC Santa Cruz. After a year as the W.J. McDonald Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin, he came to Ohio State as a postdoctoral fellow in 1989 and then joined the faculty in 1992 where he is currently a Professor of Astronomy. Students should prepare questions in advance, based on the packet of information sent to the teacher.

We ask that anyone making a reservation please check school calendars for holidays, professional development days and testing dates. We also ask that the person making the reservation please coordinate with teachers, technical coordinators, bridges and other interested parties prior to submitting the request. COSI will retain a $25 processing fee for ALL reservations and test connections: the processing fee and test connection are included in the price of the program. If you need to cancel a reservation, you must reschedule your program two weeks prior to the show. COSI will reschedule your program or test connection one time before an additional $25 rescheduling fee is added to the price. This $25 rescheduling fee applies to both program and test connections and will be added every time a schedule change is made beyond the first reschedule. COSI understands the occasional need to reschedule programs due to changing schedules, inclement weather or technical difficulties. However, COSI begins to commit time and resources to a program the moment a reservation is received. COSI strongly recommends performing a test connection at least 2 days prior to the event. The school has the right to cancel any program the day of the test if a successful connection cannot be made and COSI will refund all but the $25 processing fee. If a school declines the test connection, or reschedules the program or test connection within the two-week period, COSI reserves the right to charge the full dollar amount for the program.
