Black Holes

The video explores the center of the Milky Way, focusing on the supermassive black hole at its core. It explains the nature of black holes, their gravitational pull, and how they consume surrounding material. The video highlights research efforts by Steve Eikenberry and his team to understand black hole formation and their prevalence in galaxies. It also discusses the structure of black holes and their interaction with host galaxies. The formation of stellar mass black holes from supernovae is covered, emphasizing the process leading to black hole creation. The video concludes with ongoing research and future exploration in the field.
