Continuing our science and technology encore week, we spoke with Illinois scientists and doctors about their research on working to prevent life-threatening food allergies. Also, a new generation of evangelical Christians is hoping to move the needle on climate change action within their congregations, including at Wheaton College. Plus, we spoke with researchers about gravitational waves detections that helped shed light on entire populations of black holes.

The world is seeing the first-ever image of a black hole Wednesday, as an international team of researchers from the Event Horizon Telescope project released their look at the massive black hole at the center of galaxy Messier 87 (M87).

On the 21st: We check in with business owners in Carbondale and Murphysburo to hear about their last minute preparations for the total solar eclipse. Plus, we get a down-to-earth explanation of some of the most violent and energetic processes in the universe and speak with Chicago singer-songwriter Dan Durley about his new album, Stone Feet.

Researchers at the University of Illinois play a role in the first-ever observance of gravitational waves by the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory) project.
