Science Questions features tonight's Science Unwrapped guest, astrophysicist Pablo Laguna. Dr. Laguna is also a numerical relativist. He uses super computers to model black holes and gravitational waves.

Our sun, if it were to reach the end of its life, go supernova, and collapse in on itself, could form a dense, sucking black hole with a diameter about the size of Logan.

“Black Holes!” is the topic for Utah State University’s Science Unwrapped Friday, Nov. 2. Featured speaker is astrophysicist Pablo Laguna, who unlocks some of the mysteries surrounding these daunting and powerful cosmic phenomena.

The science of dinosaurs is the topic at USU's Science Unwrapped lecture series tonight. Today on the program, Sheri Quinn talks to the guest speaker, paleontologist Dr. Kenneth Carpenter about dinosaur behavior and biology.

"My parents have been very supportive and provided the best of the sciences and the arts for me," Neal Hengge said. "Whether it’s attending a Science Unwrapped activity or seeing a play at the Caine Lyric Theatre or attending the opera, it’s all contributed to my being the person I am today."

What explains our fascination with dinosaurs? Is it their size? Or is it our endless curiosity with how these "terrible lizards" — a rough translation of the word "dinosaurs" coined by Sir Richard Owen in 1842 — ultimately met their demise?

All are invited to Science Unwrapped, the college’s public outreach program, at 7 p.m. in the Emert Auditorium, Room 130, of the Eccles Science Learning Center. Featured speaker is USU-Eastern paleontologist Ken Carpenter, who presents "The Latest and Greatest: The Science Behind Dinosaurs."

Art has captured the historical record of science through time. Today on the program tonight's Science Unwrapped speaker, Dr. Laura Gelfand, head of Utah State University's Department of Art and Desgin discusses science in prominent works of art, particularly during the Renaissance period.

Art is often used to portray science and, for centuries, artists have captured a surprisingly accurate historical record of natural phenomena. Think of the medieval Bayeux Tapestry featuring Halley’s Comet — long before scientists understood what the cosmic phenomenon was.
