Cosmic Mashups (NEW!) @ Ingram Planetarium
Jan 25 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

Supermassive black holes are found at the center of most galaxies.

Sagittarius A* is the one at the center of the Milky Way, and is four million times the mass of the Sun.

Scientists are beginning to uncover how galaxy collisions, and the subsequent merging of galaxies, activates galactic centers to produce these monstrous black holes.

Join Astrophysical & Planetary Sciences Professor, Dr. Julie Comerford, and former graduate student Dr. Becky Nevin, as they share current research into the evolution and development of supermassive black holes.
