DESCRIPTION:Black holes are well-known celestial bodies that are often fea
 tured in popular films and fictions. Usually portrayed as a black lobe suc
 king in everything around it\, black hole is one of the most menacing and 
 mysterious things out there in the universe. However\, black holes do not 
 devour everything – matters attracted by its gravity can orbit around it
  at high speed\, producing blindingly bright radiations\; this is known as
  the accretion disk of black holes. Dr William Alston’s research focuses
  on the analysis of accreting black holes\, and he is going to give an ove
 rview of these sources and the methods astrophysicists use to study these 
 environments and what physics they are trying to understand.
