DIRECT COLLAPSE
A remote galaxy called CR7 (illustrated) might
harbor a type of black hole that arises directly
from a massive cloud of gas rather than forming
after the death of a star. This rare specimen
could explain how some galaxies built
gargantuan black holes in the first billion
years or so after the Big Bang.
“The Society’s funding of the pilot episode of
Ozone Park
,
much like the theme of the show itself, helps transform
our frame of reference — specifically by expanding our
nonprofit’s work to include motivating the public to
engage candidates for public office on key science and
technology policy issues.”
