Gasbags and blowhards: Supermassive black holes in the universe. The centre of every large galaxy - including our own Milky Way - hosts a supermassive black hole. When they grow, these monsters can spit out as much material as they swallow in giant jets and energetic winds. Astronomer and Western professor Sarah Gallagher will introduce these exotic eruptors and discuss their role in shaping the galaxies they inhabit. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The lecture will begin at 7:00 p.m. Please register online by Tuesday, March 5, 2013. Please contact Alumni Western if you require information in an alternate format, or if any other arrangements can make this event accessible to you. Western physics & astronomy professor
