I'll describe how AdS/CFT holography can be put to work to study the dynamics of astrophysical black holes in brane-world scenarios. If the curvature radius of the extra dimensions, L, were large enough, it would imply a spectacular signature of black hole detonations. Alternatively, astrophysics can provide the most stringent upper bounds on the possible values of L.
