SUMMARY:Associate Professor Brad Tucker ‘The past\, present and future of Mt Stromlo: Celebrating Mt Stromlo’s 100th anniversary’
DESCRIPTION:In its 100 years Mt Stromlo has been at the forefront of astronomical discoveries\, but much of its history has remained hidden. Brad\, from ANU\, will talk about its past and how it is shaping the future of astronomy and Canberra\, and how it is helping to combat light pollution. \nBiography\nBrad is an Astrophysicist/Cosmologist and Associate Professor at the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics\, Mt. Stromlo Observatory and the National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science\, at the Australian National University. \nBrad has Bachelor’s degrees in Physics\, Philosophy\, and Theology from the University of Notre Dame and a PhD in Astrophysics and Cosmology from Mt. Stromlo Observatory at the ANU. He’s involved in programs using space telescopes to find stars within the first hours of explosion\, as well as surveys to measure the growth rate of the Universe. He’s developing an ultraviolet space telescope\, as well as uses machine learning to combat light pollution as well as gaining insights into the public’s understanding of science. \nBooking Link – https://www.trybooking.com/DHLRH \nBooking\nLunchtime talks are held at 12.30 pm every Thursday from February to November. Talks last for 1 hour. We welcome donations by gold coins\, notes\, or electronically. The Friends use donations received at each talk to support Gardens’ programs and development and we thank all those who have donated. \nUnless otherwise indicated\, talks are held in the ANBG Theatrette. \nIt is a good idea to reserve a seat at the talks that you wish to attend; talks may be booked out very quickly.  Bookings can be made from about 30 days in advance until the night before the talk or until seating limits are reached. \nThe Friends of the ANBG thank the speakers who volunteer their time and talents to further the knowledge of all attending events in the Gardens. Many summaries or PowerPoint presentations of Thursday talks are available to Friends at the ANBG library. Please direct queries about the talks to the Thursday Talks Team: email talks@friendsanbg.org.au.
