Intermediate-Mass Black Holes and Gravitational Waves - Christopher Berry, NW Unv., Unv. of Glasgow - Astronomy News with The Cosmic Companion Sept. 15, 2020

This week, we welcome Dr. Christopher Berry to the show. He is an astrophysicist who recently helped discover the first intermediate-mass black hole ever seen by astronomers.

We will also look at an ancient galaxy that looks normal, and talk about why that's so  unusual. We learn of an active environment around the asteroid Bennu, and we see how our ideas of dark matter may change, due to an unexpected bending of light.
