- Every year during residence exploration week at MIT, or REX week, our undergraduate residence halls host activities to encourage new students to visit, get to know the vibe of the community, and hopefully choose to join. So, how do you get the attention of first-year MIT students? At East Campus, you invite them to help build a roller coaster.
The roller coaster team undergoes training and works with the City of Cambridge to ensure proper safety measures are followed. Once building begins, interested first-year students are invited to help with construction, and when it’s finished, to take ride. When the coaster comes down after REX week, the materials are recycled and reused – with some going to students who use them to customize their rooms.

- Echoes of a black hole
- Date posted
- 4 years ago
- Description
- Simulations of the light echoes off of the accretion disk around a maximally spinning (“Kerr”) black hole. Sound computed by Dr. Kyle Keane, MIT Quest for Intelligence http://quest.mit.edu, and Prof. Erin Kara, MIT Physics Department https://physics.mit.edu. Animation computed by Michal Dovciak, ASU CAS. The white circle indicates the location of the black hole event horizon, and the echoes of light are color-coded by their observed frequency, which can be distorted by Doppler shifts and by the strong gravity of the black hole. The simulation has been sonified such that lower frequency light corresponds to a lower pitch sound. (Learn more: https://news.mit.edu/2022/search-reveals-eight-new-sources-black-hole-echoes-0502)
