The Origin of Supermassive Black Holes

from Walkabout the Galaxy · host Josh Colwell, Addie Dove, Jim Cooney, Audrey Martin

JWST data confirm early formation of supermassive black holes, less than 500 million years after the big bang. This early formation suggests these monsters start off very large and form with the initial formation of the galaxy. We also take a closer look at the exciting results from the Lucy spacecraft's flyby of the asteroid Dinkinesh and its surprising moon. Join us for all this, space news, and top quark trivia.
