Q_2_08 — Quasars and Active Galactic Nuclei

Quasars (quasi-stellar objects) and active galactic nuclei (AGN) are the most luminous persistent objects in the universe, powered by accretion of matter onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs, 10⁶–10¹⁰ M☉) at galaxy cente

Q_2_06 — Nucleosynthesis: How the Elements Were Forged

Every element in the periodic table has a specific cosmic origin story. Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) produced hydrogen, helium, and traces of lithium in the first 20 minutes after the Big Bang. Stellar nucleosynthesis

Q_2_01 — Black Holes, Singularities, and Information

Black holes are regions of spacetime where gravity is so extreme that nothing — not even light — can escape once it crosses the event horizon. Predicted by general relativity (Schwarzschild solution, 1916), regarded as m
