About this Event

Mid-Kent Astronomical Society

Professor Michael Smith
The heart and lungs of a galaxy: tensions and hypertensions in the Universe.
The evolution of the Universe and the large-scale structure therein are the subjects of increasing tension. These issues will be discussed, and we will ask what has caused the very early galaxies to appear so fast, how the gas in between got enriched and then how the galaxy growth got quenched. Research into the prime suspect, the supermassive black hole at the heart could hold the key. A means by which the black hole can solve some of these issues by ejecting high pressure jets into expanding and contracting lungs will be explored.
