Lecture: Exploring the Invisible Milky Way
November 5, 2013 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
| FreePlease join the community of St. Alban’s Episcopal Church in Davidson to welcome Dr Naomi McClure-Griffiths, internationally recognized radio astronomer with CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science Center, Australia’s national telescope facility, to deliver a lecture titled “Exploring the Invisible Milky Way” on November 5 at 6:30pm at St. Alban’s. Her research has dramatically reshaped our knowledge of the structure and evolution of our galactic home – the Milky Way.
Dr McClure-Griffiths’ team of scientists recently discovered a new ‘arm’ of the Milky Way, an accomplishment for which she was awarded the prestigious Malcolm McIntosh Prize for Physical Scientist of the Year. As she puts it: “Doing this kind of work is like being the first person to sail around the world. It’s a voyage of discovery. And it helps us learn more about how everything in the universe fits together.”
