The Universe is Stranger Than We Could’ve Imagined, with Mordecai-Mark Mac Low

What type of planets orbit black holes? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Negin Farsad sit down with Mordecai-Mark Mac Low to crack open the mysteries of galaxy collisions, dark matter, and the massive planetary systems around black holes. We explore the catalogue of peculiar galaxies that got astronomers thinking about what makes some galaxies weird. Mordecai explains why actual collisions are rare unless you’re a gas cloud headed toward another gas cloud.
