A Conversation with the Stars
Dr. Igor Andreoni - Look & Listen to the Violent Universe
The ancients considered the Universe unchanging, and had a special name for the planets, which they regarded as wanderers. Any changes in the night sky were seen as portents of doom and a reason to fear the Gods. The advent of modern astronomy means that we no longer fear changes in the night sky, indeed some of us make our living from studying these fascinating changes!
The story of the modern transient sky, where stars live and die in spectacular explosions, will be the topic of Dr. Andreoni's conversation with the audience. Today's astronomers can not only look at the violent sky with telescopes, but also listen to what happens in the darkest depths of the Universe using gravitational wave detectors. Riveting stuff and the clearly the makings of a great night of science.
