Short notice, because I noticed no mention of this. Sorry for the cross posting but since it's on tonight I'd like to catch anyone interested.
Macquarie University Astronomy Open Night (http://www.physics.mq.edu.au/community/AFA/opennight/index.htm)
Lots of stuff to do.
Starts 6:30pm
Illustrated Talk
"Neutron Stars: Nature's Most Extreme Quantum Laboratories" by Prof. Andrew Melatos @ 7:30 pm
Prof. Andrew Melatos (http://www.ph.unimelb.edu.au/%7Eamelatos/) is a theoretical physicist who studies the fundamental behaviour of matter under extreme physical conditions; is is also a world expert in applying Einstein's theory of gravity to cosmic objects. His research covers high-energy phenomena, including neutron stars, supernovae and gravitational waves. His talk on extreme stars will encompass physical principles of the very small to the very largest.
Hope this notice is useful to someone.
