Giant black holes at the centers of galaxies are the most powerful engines in the universe. In active galaxies they blast out jets of material at near-light-speed. And when galaxies collide, their black holes merge with a dramatic burst of gravitational waves that can kick the black hole out of the galaxy entirely. Travel to the lairs of these hungry monsters and uncover their secrets. Speakers: Belinda Wilkes and Francesca Civano
