👩🏽💻 I'm Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.

For some reason the button "Publish in subscription feeds and notify subscribers" was unticked when I originally uploaded this video. This can't be changed once the video has gone public, so I have reposted it here to ensure all my subscribers see it! Apologies if this video appeared twice for you.

I was so confused. I thought I was going mad after watching the whole thing and then seeing it for a second time being uploaded only 4 minutes ago...I even refreshed the page several times and checked my history to make sure I wasn't completely losing it. Oh well - twice the fun I suppose! Love your vids btw

Yep watching from New Zealand and do appreciate a comment or so about the southern hemisphere. One time I lived out in the deserts of Saudi Arabia. Many times I slept outside in the desert well out of town, with no town light The sky was completely full of stars, completely full of them. How wonderful it was. Thank you so much, Dr Becky. Den

Watching from Brazil and I can relate. This channel is really one of a kind.
Thanks for featuring us, Dr. Becky! We're so excited to dig in to all of this great multiwavelength science - keep up by following our channel here😀
What a beautiful time to be alive with all the most recent science and technological advances! 💙
I'm glad LISA is moving forward. I also think it's fascinating that astronomers can use neutron stars as gravitational detectors.
LISA is good news. Hopefully someday its discoveries will move forward our understanding of the universe.
Congratulations on the move, Dr Becky! Love your work always! Matt, Sydney AU!
Yay the night-sky news the _longer version_ landed, thank you Dr Becky for this. Keep up the good work please 👍
Congrats on your upcoming move Dr. Becky, well deserved! 👍👍👏👏💖💖
What a terrific show. Engaging and interesting from start to finish. TY Doc.
Congrats on the move! Re: bloopers: "spouth" (n.) 1) a spout that always faces south (i.e., one at the north pole of a world, or one that is fixed in a south-facing orientation elsewhere); 2) the mouth of one's spouse. Coming up with definitions for accidental neologisms is something I do for fun... and yes, working on the OED is one of my dream jobs.
Thanks a mill. Any Juno news always cheers me up for some reason! And condolences on the mic. It had a good run.
I prefer to think you're remaining stationary while the rest of the universe moves in order to give you a nicer house. Happy to be doing my part.
Congrats on moving into a new place! I hope one of those upcoming videos is about the Kerr paper PBS SpaceTime jus5 did a video on - I’d love to get your perspective.
Your excitement is contagious. Thats what always keeps me coming back for more NSN.
Just finished "A Brief History of Black Holes" last night -- absolutely wonderful book. Thank you for all your hard work (and expertise and humor)!
Congratulations on the move! Looking forward to seeing the new digs in March, and hope you'll be happy (but not too happy, or we'll miss those fabulous bloopers at the end of each show). Cheers!
Fascinating stuff, dr. Becky! Thanks!!! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Congratulations Dr. Becky!! All the very best!!
Don't thank us! We thank you for being such an incredible resource! So entertaining, informative, topical, well researched and presented! You've worked hard and deserve all of it! Thanks!
Thank you for another exciting video!!
You have put in a lot of work. Good luck with the move. Thank you.
Congrats on the move! Loving the channel, you're doing a great public service here. 💖
Always phenomenal! Thanks to you and everyone who made these images possible! From Scientists to Custodians. #Grateful ❤
Congratulations Dr Becky!!!
Thank you! Enjoy the new digs!
Congrats! So happy for you.
:) Best of luck in the new digs Dr. Becky! Love the JWST t-shirt!
Good luck with the move Becky. I'm looking forward to seeing your new studio. Hopefully, your new place will be out in deepest, darkest rural Oxfordshire, with a shed containing a telescope at the end of the back garden, and plenty of good views of the night sky. 😀
That's so cool that LISA is finally getting adopted! Last night I read about LISA in your book, so I'm excited to hear about the technological developments in that project
Thanks, I think I saw the original post. Commenting to support this wonderful channel with a wonderfully dynamic, talented, and knowledgeable creator and presenter!
The audio doesn't sound up to your usual standard, so you may want to check what was different.

great episode as always!
Thank you, keep working.
Many thanks for teaching me to find the winter hexagon! I am really enjoying learning a few stars, fantastic!
Just to say thanks again for the brilliant content that has taught me things I was unaware even existed.
Love your videos, don't worry about the small technical issues 😊
congrats on the move. we're also happy for you good luck.
I just got a Celestron 6se. Havent gotten it set up just yet but im pretty stoked about it.
Congrats on the new home, and thanks for another episode!
Congratulations on the new pad, Becky! We love space almost as much as we love youuu! 😘
You are awesome, once again love hearing your space news!!
Thankiuu Dr. !
Thank you so much for this great video! The new JWST images are just incredible! Just a funny thing: I already saw these images like 2 months ago, as I am (more or less) part of PHANGS. So this video was especially interesting for me! 😊 Thank you!
Congrats on the new house! One of the best things about this channel is your enthusiasm and love for space. To see the channel grow and help with these types of things is amazing 💕
Thank you, love how you convey this great information
I love your enthusiasm. You love what you do and it makes you so good.
In one of your future videos could you do an overview of the article in the 2/19/2024 issue of "Nature Astronomy" about the large quasar (J0529-4351) which is near a large black hole. The lead author is: Christian Wolf. The quasar is 500 trillion times brighter than our sun. The black hole is 17 billion times larger than our sun.
So very interesting. Lots of mind blowing discoveries and projects happening.
I learned about LISA when we visited the LIGO near us in Louisiana. Exciting to see it's finally getting off the ground (literally)!
I didn't expect so much incredible news this month. I can't wait for LISA
Thank you for sharing such interesting information with us, and doing it in such a way that non-physicists can understand it!
JWST must be seeing Double Vision, a video do nice it watched it twice
thank you for the joy and knowledge
Great video thanks for sharing 🍻👍
Well, that's exciting. And congratulations on the new home.
Thanks for all your content. Hope all goes smoothly with your move. Are you building a shed for telescope viewing in your back garden? 🙂
Thank you for your video, good luck with the move 👍
I love your videos, thank you for what you do
Love your videos. I hope you’ll talk about Kerr’s new paper, most of it went over my head
Congrats on the move! 👍👍👍
Congrats on the new crib!
Good luck in the move!
I'm a bit of a fan of NGC 0628 (Phantom Galaxy, you know... I'm just a big kid) it was quite a case when I thought I recognized it in the images from the PHANGS survey out of the corner of my eye... (yes, I was multitasking, I'm guilty, I'm sorry) the images are incredible, you made my night JWST is really getting it done despite its turbulent past, big hooray! Gratitude and a big hug from the hemisphere that sees the Galactic Center tl!
Really happy for you doc! And I’m happy I don’t have to help you move!! Congrats and thanks 🙏
thank you!
Congratulations!
thank you for your amazing video. I would be glad to know about how do you work the science video exactly (also from knowing about a topic, preperation for videos and end of video production, etc.)
Wowza those PHANGS images are amazing
Thanks!
@ Dr. Becky: How likely is it that there is intelligent life at work around Przybylski's Star? Please share with us your views on the topic.
my astronomy teacher at school brought up and your book and i nearly fell out of my chair
I would love to see a collaboration with you and Anton Petrov.

Thanks for making me imagine "hello wonderful Becky" with that delightful smile of his. I would like to see that too.
"dragging" Lisa behind the Earth is just a matter of placing it at L5. We've already started placing equipment at other Lagrange points so the tech exists to get something out to L5.
Incredible!
Great video! (Consider Lowering your light's brightness a bit, or bringing the levels down in post. You look over exposed)
I never ever knew about the hexagon. Now that I know I will look for it Thank you Becky and your team that creates this for us the viewers. And have a nice Weekend.
Hello Dr Becky. Thank you for another, as always, great video! And thank you for all your videos and content. I wish you a great day. With best regards //M
I am watching from South Africa and really appreciate the inclusion of what can be seen in the sky from the underside of the Earth.
Every time you said "the conjunction " my brain pictured Ohgrah(sp?) from dark crystal. That movie was something i asked mom to rent whever i was home sick from school, gods im old.
Grats on the move, I hope all the plants made it! :p
A question just occurred to me...if you have two black holes with accretion disks and they start to merge...orbit each other, what happens to those accretion disks? I would imagine a very chaotic environment. My curiosity comes from considering what would happen if you have relativistic collisions on a massive scale...would (could) that happen in this kind of merger?
@ps.2

Good question! Accretion discs already throw out a great deal of high-energy radiation from the collisions that are happening to the matter already in the disc. (That's what the EHT's images of the two supermassive black holes really are: radiation from tidal friction in the accretion discs.) So, two colliding accretion discs would spit out more of the same. Some even higher-energy radiation for awhile, I guess, before the friction more or less evenly distributes the total angular momentum. And in the process, some of each accretion disc would be swallowed into the other black hole's event horizon. What percentage, I cannot begin to calculate.
On Io they call it Jupitershine, on the Moon they call it Earthshine, while here on Earth we call it moonshine. I guess creatures everywhere hate paying taxes on liquid refreshment.
Congrats on the new house! It's crazy that the dwarf galaxy is as far away as the Mesozoic age!
Good luck with the move.
Hang on, is there any particular reason you picked Durham, NC for those skywatching samples? I mean, I appreciate the personalized content!
Congrats on the new house🥂 .. love your videos btw. Always loved this field and studied some astronomy at the University.
I cannot wait to see your new studio. ❤ I was quite close to being up there in your pre orders of your book. It's still in the brown cardboard packaging but it has been out for reading once or twice. Love your show. You keep going girl... 💋
