Saturday Science
Dr. Manos Chatzopoulos presents: GOING OUT WITH A BANG:
SUPERNOVA EXPLOSIONS & THE AFTERMATH OF STELLAR DEATH
The phrase "live fast die young" perfectly describes the lives of the most massive
stars in the Universe. These celestial giants live a relatively short life and die by producing some of the brightest explosions in the universe: supernovae! But the
aftermath of this bright and energetic event leaves something
else more sinister behind... black holes and neutron stars. I'll discuss how astronomers discover and observe these incredible stellar explosions and how we use the strongest computers in the world to understand how they occur!
All the lectures will be held at EBR Main Library, Teen Meeting Room, 7711 Goodwood Blvd., Baton Rouge 70806.
