👩🏽💻 I'm Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still don't know. If you've ever wondered about something in space and couldn't find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars.

Lol, the second you started mentioning that you are not a rocket scientist. I thought to myself, 'Time for a colab with Scott Manley!'. Then a second later you drop his name. Too funny.
-
"Hubbel is getting old it turned 34"... alright why you have to do me like that early in the morning.
-
I love that you have such an excited audience that I'm watching the like counter increase in real time. Yay nerds!
-
Thank you for the video 👍 In Finland, we don't have night at all at the moment... let's look at the stars here 😁
-
@18:42 is the most concise and enlightening visualization on how red shift distance calculation works. Amazing!
-
I remember gazing up at the night sky in the middle of the Pacific Ocean while on deployment or exercises while stationed on the USS Port Royal. It was sssssoooo amazing!
-
One thing I enjoy about your channel is your excitement when new discoveries challenge current knowledge. So many others seem to fret.
-
May be the saying "If it's Boeing I ain't going" should also apply for rockets and space.
-
i used to work for boeing. the problem with the starliner is that it was built by boeing.
-
The top three of my favorite YouTubers who discuss space-related topics are Dr. Becky, Scott Manley, and Anton Petrov.

You might be interested to know that it is a public holiday today in New Zealand in celebration of the rising of the Pleiades star cluster, known as Matariki in Māori culture. I believe it is actually their equivalent of a new year celebration.
-
Stoked that you shouted out to Scott Manley. I'm a spaceflight fan in the US, and that man's channel is amazing.

Dr Becky: Nasa has plans to keep Hubble operating through to the twenty- Me: ...second century?? Dr Becky: ...Thirties. 😢

I'd never consciously viewed the Milky Way until I worked for the National Outdoor Leadership School in Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. Once, after delivering re-rations to a ranch in Montana so that they could be delivered to a NOLS class by horsepackers, I'd come close to reaching my maximum allowed driving time (I was a commercially-license driver). So, I drove to a high area in the mountains near Dell, Montana and settled in for the night in the bed of my pickup truck. I was at least twenty-five miles (40 km) from the nearest highway or electric lighting. As I lay in my sleeping bag with my dog pacing around the truck bed on bear patrol, there was nothing else to do but gaze at the stars. Among the countless stars in the black sky, I immediately noticed the magnificent arc of the Milky Way stretching across the sky from the southwest to the northeast. I'll not soon forget that night.

Was feeling down so I decided to watch your latest Nigh Sky news. Thanks for the pick me up. I always enjoy your review of the latest news. 😊

I was also fascinated by the nail polish which deserves a mention I thought 😊❤ Shine on Dr. B 😍!

Thank you, I'm going to spend this night outside in the nature. Perfect weather and I have one special location already in my mind. If nothing else, it's going to be a fun night listening the 3 body problem audiobook while cycling :D

You are so awesome Becky. I really appreciate and enjoy your content. I feel like I’ve learned so much from all of them. Thank you.
