Sky Full of Fireflies: Time-Domain Astronomy in the 2020s
Dr. K. Decker French
Hubble Fellow, Carnegie Observatories
The sky is full of cosmic explosions and stars torn apart by black holes, which are only the faintest flashes of starlight by the time they reach the Earth. Astronomy in the 2020s will be revolutionized by new sensitive surveys to map these exciting transient and time-varying phenomenon. Dr. French will lead us through the new astrophysics that can be uncovered with time-sensitive observations in the next decade.
Tickets will be available starting February 25th at Eventbrite.
