Summary

Astronomy Cast Ep. 767: Black Holes in Extreme Circumstances By Fraser Cain & Dr. Pamela Gay Hosted by: Fraser Cain and Dr. Pamela L. Gay Streamed live on Oct 6, 2025. You can only describe a black hole by its mass and its spin. And maybe it’s charge. But allow us to propose a new criteria: the personal experience. Some black holes have seen things… Experienced the laws of physics at their most extreme. And today we’ll tell their stories. The more of the sky we observe, the more bizarre situations we find black holes in. Let's explore!   This show is supported through people like you on Patreon.com/AstronomyCast  In this episode, we'd like to thank: Andrew Poelstra, BogieNet, Brian Cagle, Burry Gowen, David, David Rossetter, David Truog, Ed, Gerhard Schwarzer, Jason Kwong, Jeanette Wink, Michael Purcell, Olger, Sergio Sancevero, Sergey Manouilov, Siggi Kemmler, Stephen Veit

Yeah, the recommendation that I make is go open up Chrome, open up a new incognito window, go to YouTube, do a search for whatever space topic is interesting to you, Comets, space, James Webb, whatever, and you will see the sloppiest slop that ever slopped.
