Supermassive Black Holes

00:00:21 one that is set to overturn our understanding of how the Universe formed

00:02:27 We see our galaxy, the Milky Way

00:04:05 that filled the Universe is still physics that we do not really understand yet.

00:06:29 If you think of the Universe as a space-time web

00:08:15 with vast jets of energy spurting out of the centre.

00:09:58 if supermassive black holes really did exist at the heart of these strange active galaxies.

00:12:18 Dressler used an instrument called a spectroscope.

00:14:17 The picture from the active galaxy

00:16:27 Maybe lots of galaxies could have a dormant phase where they had a supermassive black hole

00:17:55 and show that we were a bunch of idiots and we would feel terrible about it.

00:20:07 One by one we were seeing this picture sort of emerge out of the fog that, that

00:22:07 This is a case where bigger is better.

00:23:50 producing a detailed picture of the centre of the galaxy.

00:25:47 and how they work.

00:27:43 These past six months have been phenomenal in terms of black hole research. . . .

00:29:11 and the speed of the stars at the edge of the galaxy.

00:31:10 The fact that we see there's such a tight relationship between

00:32:34 then scientists would need to explain what it was doing there.

00:34:37 they're having a very positive impact on the formation of the galaxies.

00:36:18 depends on how fast the stars are moving in the newly formed galaxy around it.

00:38:11 The black hole may be starting to feed again.

00:39:48 The black hole stopped growing billions of years ago.

00:42:03 as the two monsters spiral towards each other.
