At last, astronomers had a map of our galaxy. A panorama of the Milky Way, it would never be possible to see from Planet Earth. 27,000 light-years from our solar system is the centre of our galaxy. If we were ever going to have a chance of seeing a b

But if you look carefully, stars aren't spread smoothly across the whole sky. They are gathered together into a band that loops around the sky which we call the Milky Way. That bright strip across the sky with its extraordinary abundance of stars and

It suggested a baffling paradox that quasars are really shining black holes, capable of emitting the energy of entire galaxies. But Lynden-Bell then went further. I predicted that there would be these massive objects found in the nearby galaxies. He

The mystery of what could count for the quasars' extraordinary brightness was the hot topic in astronomy during the 1960s. As astronomers began to grapple with the new enigmatic objects that had been found by the radio telescopes, one astronomer, kee

But that is not the only surprise. People began to realize that these tiny star-like things or they looked like stars are actually putting out as much energy as a hundred of galaxies. And they didnt look like a galaxy at all. The paradox was how some

But if watching matter tumble over the edge of a black hole might now be possible, it is only because of the efforts of a generation of astronomers to wrestle these dark dragons of the cosmos into the realms of scientific reality. As is often the cas

Theres nothing anywhere near as extreme as a black hole. The disturbing truth about black holes is that there are boundary between the known universe and the place that would forever lie beyond the reach of science. They are in an anomaly of gravity

High above your head, in the centre of our Milky Way Galaxy, a violent drama is about to unfold. Our super-massive black hole is getting ready to have dinner. As a gas cloud three times the size of the Earth, its caught in its gravitational hold. Acr

Nothing is more seductive than the unknown, nothing more compelling than a place of danger that lies beyond normal comprehension. Of all those places, perhaps the strangest of all are black holes. They are an exit point from the Universe, hidden trap

The X-ray image revealed how the black hole at the heart of the galaxy was firing unimaginable amounts of radiation into surrounding space and with extraordinary consequences. We could see what was going on at the centre and we could start to underst

The difference is that when you have a lot of gas, a lot of stuff orbiting around the black hole, there is a little bit of friction that causes matter to slowly spiral in towards the black hole. As gas continues to spiral in towards the Event Horizon

The super bright quasar phase having ended many billions of years ago, when the fuel that fires violent emissions was completely consumed. But now, with the approaching gas cloud and a prospect of feeding, the black hole should get brighter. Exactly

Was there any connection between the two? What Magorian discovered was completed unexpected. The relationship that we find was essentially that the bigger the galaxy, the bigger the black hole. That's in its broad terms. If you want to be a bit more

It was a stunning discovery. After a quest lasting decade, Donald Lynden-Bell had been proved right. Here indeed, just where he had predicted, was a super massive black hole. But in the last year, the quest to find and understand black holes has sudd

If there's a black hole at the center of our galaxy, that's gonna force these objects that are really close to the black hole to move much faster than they would move if there were no black holes. So the first thing you wanted to see is there are ver

Just as I arrived at UCLA with my first faculty position, everything was falling into place in terms of the ability to answer this question at the centre of our galaxy. The telescopes were getting bigger so you had the due ability to see fine details

Instead, it seems to be a gas cloud moving at huge speeds right in the direction of the black hole. But what really rang along bells was the way it had changed shape. We see that this gas cloud as it moves closer and closer to the black hole, is gett
