How I fell in love with quasars and our incredible universe

Jedidah Isler is a Astrophysics and she studies blazars (really big black holes that produce and discharge
powerful jet streams. They are the Universe's most efficient particle accelerators, transferring energy
throughout galaxies.) Jedidah Isler has been staring at the stars sine she was 11 or 12. But because neither of her undergraduate college or University where she got her first master's degree offered astronomy majors, she threw herself wholeheartedly into physics. It wasn't until she entered a doctoral program that
she was able to dedicate her time to study the night sky. In 2014, she was the first African-American
woman to receive a Ph.D in Astronomy from Yale.
