So, join everyone in the first of our lectures being held on February 13th at Ke ‘Olu Living Room with this fascinating astronomer:

Dr. Shrinivas Kulkarni talks about Bumps, Burps and Booms in the Sky:  The Richness of the Transient Universe

Wednesday February 13th

Ke ‘Olu Lawn

Wine and Chocolates at 7:00PM

Presentation 7:30 – 8:30 PM

Dessert 8:30 – 9:00PM

 

Time Domain Astronomy is an “exploding” new area of study in astrophysics that breaking science and technology have made possible, revealing cosmic phenomena of a temporal nature that are now studied in real time.  Dr. Kulkarni, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Professor of Astronomy and Planetary Science at the California Institute of Technology, is also the Director of the Caltech Optical Observatories and a senior member of the Keck Observatory Board of Directors.  Currently he is leading the world in discovering the richness of the transient universe.

And don’t forget Keck Week Celebration March 14 – 18.
