Показать описание
Hiding at the centre of almost every large galaxy in the Universe is a sleeping giant, a supermassive black hole that has helped shape the evolution of its parent galaxy for billions of years. But these dark and distant behemoths are difficult to study – unless a passing star is kind enough to wake them up for a bit. Dr Greg Brown of the Royal Observatory Greenwich sheds some light on these mysterious objects as he talks about his research in astrophysics and why, despite how fascinating these objects are, he decided to leave research to communicate science to the general public full-time.

The Royal Observatory is the home of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), the historic Prime Meridian of the world and London’s only Planetarium.

Their astronomy science learning and public engagement team is made of real astronomers who are also professional science communicators.
