The Perimeter Institute public lectures are back, with, this evening (7 March), Emily Levesque talking about some of the strangest stellar phenomena in the universe.
From the biggest, brightest, and most volatile stars to the explosive fireworks of core-collapse supernovae and the fascinating physics of gravitational waves, ‘weird’ stars serve as a common thread for exploring our universe’s history, evolution, and extremes. Levesque will discuss the history of stellar astronomy, present-day observing techniques and exciting new discoveries, and explore some of the most puzzling and bizarre objects being studied by astronomers today.
The live video will appear here, followed by the recording shortly after the event.
As a further treat, on 8 March the Institute is hosting a half-day conference on inspiring future women in science, and the live webcast will appear here.
