Nobel Prizewinner Reinhard Genzel: The Monster Black Hole at the Heart of our Galaxy! ​(#209)

Reinhard Genzel studied physics at Bonn Univ., and received his
doctorate at the Max Planck Institute for Radioastronomy Bonn
(1978), He was a Postdoctoral Fellow, Harvard-Smithsonian Center
for Astrophysics (1978-1980), Cambridge, MA, was Associate
Professor of Physics and Associate Research Astronomer, Space
Sciences Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley (1981-
1985), Full Professor of Physics, University of California,
Berkeley (1985-1986). He is Director and Scientific Member at the
Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (since 1986),
Honorary Professor Munich Univ. (since 1988), Full Professor of
Physics University of California Berkeley (since 1999). Professor
Reinhard was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics 2020 together with
Roger Penrose and Andrea Ghez "for the discovery of a supermassive
compact object at the center of our galaxy." Since nothing, not
even light, can escape black holes, they can only be observed by
the radiation and the movement of nearby objects. Since the 1990s,
Reinhard and Andrea Ghez, with their respective research teams,
have developed and refined techniques for studying the movement of
stars. Observations of stars in the area around Sagittarius A* in
the middle of our galaxy, the Milky Way, revealed a supermassive
black hole. https://www.mpe.mpg.de/ir/gravity
