From Comet C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS) in mid April, to a conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in June, a total solar eclipse visible for Europe in August 2026, along with the Perseids and Geminids Meteor Showers, the 2026 is set to wow us!
👩🏽💻 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.
