A Mirror in the Sky - Chris Lintott
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 вер 2024
- The first lecture in the series considers the most famous telescope of all, the Hubble space telescope. A project more than forty years in the making, Hubble overcame an initial disaster with a misshapen mirror to drive a revolution in every part of astronomy, providing iconic views of everything from a comet crashing into Jupiter to a surprisingly vibrant, distant Universe. This lecture focuses in particular on what Hubble has revealed about the life - and death - of stars.
This lecture was recorded by Chris Lintott on 11th September 2024 at Conway Hall, London
Chris is Gresham Professor of Astronomy.
He is also a Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford, and a Research Fellow at New College.

These eyes above the sky are worth more than all the military spending.
It's true, but I think the military spending is the only reason we can have such modern scientific tools. Secular democracy needs protection. From revolutions of idiocy, from religious zealotry, from non-peaceful nations.
As much as I feel the US military is bloated, I'd rather have a bloated military than a caliphate that kills scientists for looking up at the "heavens"
How so? Edit: I should have been more specific. I see two ways of interpreting your comment, which contradict each other, so curious if you would mind elaborating.
How dod I miss? Was i busy? Kinda....
