IN-PERSON @ THE BELL HOUSE, Secret Science Club presents Astrophysicist Jared Goldberg on Tuesday, February 20 @ 7:30PM, FREE!

We’re going SUPERNOVA!

Secret Science Club explores the Universe, massive stars, and explosions in space with ASTROPHYSICIST JARED GOLDBERG

IN-PERSON @ THE BELL HOUSE on Tuesday, February 20, 7:30PM (Doors open at 7PM), Free!

Dying stars do not go gentle into that good night. They go out with a bang—or let’s call it a blazing shockwave—more powerful than almost anything in the Universe. In the wake of these glorious explosions, they leave behind black holes or dense neutron stars.

At the next Secret Science Club, astrophysicist Jared Goldberg gets into supernovae, the strange behavior of the beloved red supergiant Betelgeuse, and what happens when these unstable giants of the Universe finally “burn and rave at close of day.”

JARED GOLDBERG is an astrophysicist and research fellow at the Flatiron Institute’s Center for Computational Astrophysics. He uses simulations to understand the structure and evolution of massive stars and supernovae, along with the observable emissions produced during their dynamic lives and explosive deaths. Originally from starry Southern California, Dr. Goldberg currently lives in Manhattan, where he builds stars on his computer for want of stars visible in the night sky.
