UW Bothell Pub Night Talk at McMenamins March 26, 2019: “Quasars: Supermassive Black Holes and Galaxies Far, Far Away…”

With Paola Rodríguez Hidalgo, assistant professor, School of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.

People once believed our galaxy was the entire universe. Then astronomers realized there were other galaxies farther away. Beyond that, they spotted quasi-stellar objects, or quasars. 

Paola Rodriguez Hidalgo believes quasars may hold the answer to questions such as, Why are we here? Where are we going?
