CATEGORIES:Guest Speaker Night
CREATED:20240413T141416
SUMMARY:Guest Speaker - Dr Laura Driessen - University of Sydney
LOCATION::  Green Point Observatory
DESCRIPTION:<h2>Radio astronomy and the hunt for radio stars</h2><p>Did you know that b
 lack holes can photobomb stars? Hear about how we’ve more than doubled the 
 known number of radio stars using Australia’s ASKAP telescope. Stars might 
 seem easy to find, but it’s a lot trickier with black holes everywhere. I'l
 l talk about the amazing radio telescopes here in Australia and the differe
 nt kinds of radio astronomy. I'll also share my latest work searching for (
 and finding!) radio stars and the impact radio stars have on the planets or
 biting them. Video didn't kill the radio star, but the radio star might kil
 l the habitable planet!</p><h2><img src="images/articles/Dr_Laura_Driessen.
