Astronomer Christian Wolf and his team piggy-backed on NASA’s asteroid defense effort to watch more than 5,000 of the fastest-growing black holes in the sky for five years, in an attempt to understand why black holes twinkle.

Very informative video about black holes. Black holes fascinate me, and they’re scary too.
Indeed. Thank you, Amelia.
is this the explore with us guy??????
Yes, it’s our narrator, Russell Archey.
It would be great if we can discover what a black hole has inside, as our understanding of physics breakdown inside one, have you heard of the Phoenix A Cluster? It has an active galactic nucleus that has been described as sharing both the properties of being quasar and a type 2 Seyfert galaxy, which is powered by a supermassive black hole, possibly 100 billion solar masses. Thanks everyone at Cosmoknowledge.
Yes, and I made a video about it. Here you go: https://youtu.be/_qQ1B-60l7g
@Cosmoknowledge That’s excellent, thanks, I’m going to watch it now.
Imagine watching a Star being devoured in just 48 hours 😲

So true! Thank you!
