Heavenly music: the sounds of the Universe
Monday 16 February 2004, 6.30pm at The Royal Society
We all know that in space, no one can hear you scream but sound can be important in space. Astronomers have recently found evidence for the deepest note in the Universe emerging from the region around a supermassive black hole. The Big Bang itself was incredibly noisy, and within our own Galaxy explosions from stars create dramatic shockwaves. Andrew Fabian and Carolin Crawford of the University of Cambridge will discuss how we detect sound in space: from winds on Mars to ringing stars, spinning pulsars, booming clusters and the jet-like roar of the Big Bang.
Admission Free - no ticket or advance booking required.
Nearest tubes: Piccadilly Circus or Charing Cross.
