There is a seminar on next week that may be of interest to people from La Trobe Uni and all unemployed amateur (or pro) astronomers in Melbourne.
'Probing the Universe at 21cm'
Dr Lister Staveley-Smith,
Head of Astrophysics,
Australia Telescope National Facility, CSIRO
11:00 am, Wednesday 24 August 2005
La Trobe University, Bundoora Campus, Physical Sciences Building 1 (PS1), room 411 (level 4)
Dr Staveley-Smith will discuss the results of recent observations at the Parkes & Arecibo radio telescopes and what they tell us about our cosmic neighbourhood, as well as the structure of the early universe. He will also be outlining capabilities of new telescopes being built, plans for future Australian telescopes and the square kilometre array (SKA) project. It should be an interesting talk from one of Australia's top scientists.
