This video explores the power scales of the universe. Climbing an energy ladder, it moves from the coldest and bleakest reaches of our galaxy on out to the hottest and most violent places known. The idea is to see, from another point of view, how and where Earth and humanity fits within the vast, timeless, and immensely powerful scales that define our universe. LINK: Youtube

Cosmic Journeys / The Largest Black Holes in the Universe
We've never seen them directly, yet we know they are there, lurking within dense star clusters or wandering the dust lanes of the galaxy, where they prey on stars, or swallow planets whole. Our Milky Way may harbor millions of these black holes, the ultra dense remnants of dead stars. But now, in the universe far beyond our galaxy, there's evidence of something even more ominous: a breed of black holes that have reached incomprehensible size and destructive power. How big can they get? What's the largest so far detected? Where does an 18 billion solar mass black hole hide? LINK: Youtube
