As part of Out There!, a hands-on public exhibition focused on the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope, Professor Peter Quinn will present a fascinating talk at 12 noon on its incredible potential.
You’ll find out just how the SKA radio telescope, which is up to 50 times more sensitive than present-day instruments, will revolutionise our understanding of the origin and evolution of the universe. The free Out There! exhibition will also feature hands-on activities providing an equally fascinating insight into the physics behind radio astronomy and the mysteries of the universe, including the Big Bang, the Dark Ages and First Light. Saturday 9th May Exhibition: 10.00am – 3.00pm [Venue: Molecular & Chemical Sciences (MCS) Building, UWA] Talk: 12.00noon [Venue: Wilsmore Lecture Theatre, adjacent to the MCS Building, UWA] NO RSVP required Sponsored by The University of Western Australia, the Spice Program, and the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), with generous support from Scitech and WA Super Computing (WASP).
