Investigating Black Holes
Every major galaxy has a black hole at its center, even our own Milky Way. Although Black Holes can’t be seen, they show their presence by influencing matter that surrounds them. For the next decade, astronomers at the Keck Observatory in Hawaii will track thousands of stars caught in the gravity of the Milky Way’s Black Hole. They will try to figure out how stars are born so close to the black hole and what their effect is on space around them.
