Black holes give rise to some of the most spectacular phenomena we see in the cosmos.  They significantly distort space-time and they grow by stealing material from other stars.  This talk will separate science fiction from science fact and elucidate what we know about these mysterious objects, and how they have shaped, and continue to shape, our Universe.
