Astronomy Cast Ep. 767: Black Holes in Extreme Circumstances
By Fraser Cain & Dr. Pamela Gay
Hosted by: Fraser Cain and Dr. Pamela L. Gay
Streamed live on Oct 6, 2025.
You can only describe a black hole by its mass and its spin. And maybe it's charge. But allow us to propose a new criteria: the personal experience. Some black holes have seen things… Experienced the laws of physics at their most extreme. And today we'll tell their stories. The more of the sky we observe, the more bizarre situations we find black holes in. Let's explore!
