Come and learn about fast radio bursts\, these brigh t flashes of light from distant galaxies that have captured the world of a stronomy over the last decade!\n\nAbstract: Most things in the universe ha ppen over millions or even billions of years but some things change on the timescales of human life and can be seen to change in a matter of months\ , days\, or even seconds. These are some of the most extreme events in the universe\, things like the collapse of a dying star\, or a collision of t wo massive objects. Humans have been observing astronomical transients for centuries\, from supernovae to gamma ray bursts and\, most recently\, gra vitational waves. In 2007\, we discovered a brand-new type of transient ca lled fast radio bursts\, bright radio pulses that last only a few millisec onds. Their origin is one of the newest unsolved mysteries of astronomy. I will tell the story of their discovery and some of the most exciting new breakthroughs.\n\nAs usual\, the event will be taking place over Zoom and livestreamed to youtube.com/Astro9I制作厂免费. On Zoom\, you'll be able to ask q uestions out loud or in the chat\, whereas on Youtube you'll type them int o the comments.\n\nSee you on October 19th!\n DTSTART:20211019T230000Z DTEND:20211020T000000Z SUMMARY:Astronomy in the blink of an eye: Searching for the fastest events in the Universe URL:/science/channels/event/astronomy-blink-eye-search ing-fastest-events-universe-334121 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
