Speaker: Eleni Vardoulaki (National Observatory of Athens)

What's in the invisible universe? How can we best observe it? The international collaboration Evolutionary Map of the Universe (EMU) observes the sky with the ASKAP radio interferometer in Australia. Their goals are to better understand the nature of galaxies and their evolution. Anyone can assist this research through the citizen science project Radio Galaxy Zoo: EMU. Contributors actively participate in the identification and categorization of radio beacons - transmissions from distant galaxies and other celestial sources. Dr. Vardoulaki will explore how scientists and citizen scientists collaborate to better study and understand our universe.

Recorded live on Thursday, November 14, 2024.

The STScI Public Lecture Series offers talks on a diverse selection of cosmic topics, typically held the first Tuesday of every month. The 2024 Public Lecture Series is continuing an online-only format. This lecture will be presented with a livestream to YouTube, and questions can be asked in the YouTube chat. As usual, the recording will also be posted on our YouTube channel. We will, as necessary, adjust from the traditional first Tuesday at 8 PM schedule to accommodate our speakers.
