Work
Reinhard Genzel studies infrared- and submillimetre astronomy, and he and his group are active in developing front-line ground- and space-based instrumentation for their astronomy research. He and his group were the first to track the motions of stars at the centre of the Milky Way and show that they were orbiting a very massive object, probably a black hole. Genzel is also active in studies of the formation and evolution of galaxies.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“... whoever believes anything esteems that it is a work of charity to persuade another of it.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Men were not intended to work with the accuracy of tools, to be precise and perfect in all their actions.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
“Scholars and artists thrown together are often annoyed at the puzzle of where they differ. Both work from knowledge; but I suspect they differ most importantly in the way their knowledge is come by. Scholars get theirs with conscientious thoroughness along projected lines of logic; poets theirs cavalierly and as it happens in and out of books. They stick to nothing deliberately, but let what will stick to them like burrs where they walk in the fields.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
