Log in Resize text Galaxy M87 emits fast-moving radiation and particles, seen by the Hubble Space Telescope The universe is far stranger than science fiction ... and it’s all real. Kimberly Arcand of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory leads a journey through weird and wild places in the cosmos, from merely mind-bending to truly extreme. Along the way meet blazars (hyperactive, distant black holes) that outshine entire galaxies, quasars powered by supermassive black holes, city-sized neutron stars, and pulsars that keep time more precisely than atomic clocks, plus some wild worlds orbiting distant suns. Arcand talks about how these extreme objects are found and what they reveal about the cosmos. General Information View Common FAQs and Policies about our Online Programs on Zoom.
