1.Consider a supermassive black hole with mass: MBH = 106 Msun. An observation station is in a circular orbit around the black hole at a distance of 1,000,000 km from the event horizon. Calculate the period of the orbit of the observation station around the black hole in seconds. Hence, compute the orbital speed (in units of the speed of light). [3 marks] Calculate the escape velocity from the observation platform. Express your answer in units of the speed of light. [2 marks]
