In this edition of #ConversationsWithGoddard, we were joined by black hole expert Dr. Jeremy Schnittman to help us celebrate #BlackHoleWeek! Dr. Schnittman is a theoretical astrophysicist focusing on black hole accretion flows, black hole binaries, planetary dynamics, and more.

It reads “Conversations with Goddard” against a black background. 00:06 Light blue line slides down to reveal text: “Dr. Jeremy Schnittman.” 00:08: Jeremy Schnittman stands in front of a well-used green-gray blackboard. He wears glasses and a blue shirt with a cartoon character holding a flag that says “I love black holes.” 00:15 An office door with black hole pictures and memes. The camera moves inside the office where we see large canvas prints of colorful black hole visualizations. 00:23 A close-up of the blackboard Jeremy was standing in front of. It has notes and equations in different colors of chalk. 00:30 Visualization of binary black hole. A large orange shape, like a black circle with vertical and horizontal orange bands swirling around it, bends around a smaller blue shape that passes in front of it. The visual shows how light bends around interacting black holes. Text in the lower left reads “Binary Black Hole Visualization - Jeremy Schnittman and Brian P. Powell.” 00:36 Back to Jeremy. 00:41 A computer rendering of the Fermi telescope in space. It looks like a gray cube with instruments attached. Text in the lower left reads “Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope - NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.” 00:44 A gamma-ray map taken from the Fermi telescope. It appears bright blue near the edges, with a bright yellow stripe surrounded by orange and red cutting through the center. Text reads “Fermi Gamma Ray Map - NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.” 00:48 Back to Jeremy 00:54 Newspaper and article headlines discussing Jeremy’s work quickly appear on screen, like paper clippings being piled on a table. 00:56 A red box appears on a black screen with text “Learn more: https://go.nasa.gov/3B0w0vK.”
