BLACK HOLES 101 - KELLY BEATTY

The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Inside Science Interview Series

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series on radio and podcast. I’m Paul Vogelzang, and as part of our Inside Science Series we have an excellent program about bizarre cosmic objects whose gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape them: those objects being Black Holes.  Our guest today is Smithsonian Associate, scientist, journalist, and author Kelly Beatty.  For the past 35 years, J. Kelly Beatty has kept his readers on the edge of their front-row seats to much of the exploration of our solar system as senior editor of Sky & Telescope.  Kelly Beatty will be presenting at Smithsonian Associates coming up, and the title of his Smithsonian Associates presentation is “Black Holes 101.”

Thank you so much for listening. We’ve got a great guest today for our Inside Science series with Smithsonian Associate Kelly Beatty, and is a popular, returning guest on the program who I always look forward to speaking with, and I’ll introduce him in just a moment.  But, quickly, if you missed any episodes, last week was our 702d episode when I spoke to journalist, activist, historian, and author of the new book, "Formidable: American Women and the Fight for Equality: 1920-2020"  Two weeks ago, I spoke with science writer, Lizzie Stark about her new book, Egg.   Excellent subjects for our Not Old Better Show audience…If you missed those shows, along with any others, you can go back and check them out with my entire back catalog of shows, all free for you, there on our website,
