The beauty and serenity of a starlit
sky conceals the cataclysmic forces at
work in the universe around us, but every
once in a while we catch a glimpse of
their immense power. Our earth contains
evidence of these events. While some are
quite small, other evidence cannot be
easily ignored.
Using powerful instruments enabling us
to see farther and more clearly into
space than ever before, we searched the
universe to see for ourselves the sheer
power of these forces in action.
Even more enigmatic forces like black
holes and gamma-ray bursts have entered
their wrath upon objects nearby.
But what could happen to our planet
Earth if these ominous forces stumble a
bit too close?
We will consider these possibilities
together as we experience violent
universe catastrophes of the cosmos.
