The team look at black holes, the beating heart of galaxies which also have a destructive side. Chris Lintott visits the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge.
Black holes are the beating heart of galaxies. It seems that they are pivotal in their evolution, but they also have a destructive side.

Chris Lintott talks to the Astronomer Royal about this cataclysmic encounter.
