A researcher from BBC Horizon called me the other day to talk about black holes and jets! They are thinking about doing a new show on this topic, in part because of the so-called G2 cloud that seems to be on a collision course with our Galaxy’s central supermassive black hole, Sgr A* (see http://www.mpe.mpg.de/resources/pgn/g2/index.php). We talked for over an hour, it was really fun having the chance to explain everything from basic accretion around black holes to Sgr A* in particular. I hope they do something cool with the show, it’s an exciting time and a good opportunity to promote the kind of science we do!
