Right now, you are orbiting a black hole. The Earth goes around the
Sun, and the Sun goes around the centre of the Milky Way: a
supermassive black hole - the strangest and most misunderstood
phenomenon in the galaxy. In A Brief History of Black Holes
University of Oxford astrophysicist, Dr Becky Smethurst charts the
scientific breakthroughs that have uncovered the weird and
wonderful world of black holes, from the collapse of massive stars
to the iconic first photographs of a black hole in 2019. A cosmic
tale of discovery, you'll learn: why black holes aren't really
'black', that you never ever want to be 'spaghettified', how black
holes are more like sofa cushions than hoovers, and why beyond the
event horizon, the future is a direction in space rather than in
time. Full of wit and learning, this captivating book explains why
black holes contain the secrets to the most profound questions
about our universe. 'A jaunt through space history . . . with
charming wit and many pop-culture references' - BBC Sky At Night
