Monthly Webinar Series - November 2023: Active Galaxies: Monsters of the Deep (Space)
- 11/27/2023
Join the NASA Night Sky Network on Thursday, November 30 at 6:00 PM Pacific Time (9:00 PM Eastern) along with Dr. Travis Fischer from Space Science Telescope Institute, where we will explore the nature of active galaxies and the role they play in shaping the universe we see today.
Active galaxies are some of the most fascinating objects in the universe. They emit copious amounts of energy, often far exceeding the energy output of an entire galaxy of stars. But what makes them so active? Hear about some of the latest research in the field, including the use of telescopes and other observational tools to study these enigmatic objects. Join us on this journey to the heart of the most powerful objects in the cosmos.
