Awesome Astronomy - “How to Grow a Supermassive Black Hole” with Dr. Becky Smethurst
The 365 Days of Astronomy - Podcast készítő 365DaysOfAstronomy.org
Dr. Jenifer “Dr. Dust” Millard solo hosts! Damien Phillips, John Wildridge and Dustin Ruoff produce. Once a year, astronomers descend upon an unsuspecting UK city in the greatest gathering of astronomically curious minds: the National Astronomy Meeting, otherwise known as NAM (no, not that ‘Nam, though it is quite the battle of the minds). Jen was lucky enough to attend this year and this episode is the first in a series of talks recorded at NAM 2023. We’re delighted to bring you the expertise of none other than Dr. Becky Smethurst of Oxford University (you may know her as Dr Becky on Youtube). In this talk, Dr. Becky teaches us how to grow a supermassive black hole – and it’s not as easy as you think! Always picture a black hole as a gigantic hoover, sucking up everything that dares to stray too close? Think again… www.awesomeastronomy.com Awesome Astronomy explores the frontiers of science, space and our evolving understanding of the universe.
