General Meeting: September 2025

Did you know that black holes can photobomb stars? Hear about how we’ve more than doubled the known number of radio stars using Australia’s ASKAP telescope. Stars might seem easy to find, but it’s a lot trickier with black holes everywhere. I'll talk about the amazing radio telescopes here in Australia and the different kinds of radio astronomy. I'll also share my latest work searching for (and finding!) radio stars and the impact radio stars have on the planets orbiting them. Video didn't kill the radio star, but the radio star might kill the habitable planet!
