Supermassive Black Holes in the Centers of Galaxies
Darshan Kakkad, Space Telescope Science Institute
Most galaxies have a supermassive black hole at their center, including our Milky Way. Despite being surrounded by a galaxy that is 1,000 times heavier, these black holes are no mere ornament—they help determine how galaxies are going develop over time. Join Dr. Kakkad for an overview of black holes across a phenomenal range of different masses and to explore how supermassive black holes may decide the fate of galaxies.
