Gamma Ray Bursts

by guest speaker Dr Nick Odom

Gamma ray bursts were discovered serendipitously in the 1960s. They remained a mystery for many years. Since 1997, satellite technology has enabled their nature to be better understood, thereby providing insight into the most distant and energetic explosions in the universe. Come along and learn about these fascinating events and what they tell us about the Universe.

This meeting will also be live-streamed on the AAS YouTube channel

See you all there!
