About the event

WVUniverse presents: A Hole over Hobart: How the Space Shuttle helped push limits of Radio Astronomy
With a deep dive into the history of radio astronomy, Doskoch will discuss how the space shuttles changed the course of study in the field of radio astronomy.

Graham is currently as graduate student working toward his PhD in astronomy, under advisor Prof. Maura McLaughlin. He works on pulsar timing as part of the NANOGrav collaboration. He is currently studying a collection of less-well understood neutron stars called rotating radio transients, or RRATs, which erratically emit individual pulses.

"A Hole over Hobart: How the Space Shuttle helped push the limits of Radio Astronomy" is free and open to all ages.

WVUniverse talks are general audience, outreach talks that explore different fields of astronomy like cosmology, instrumentation, astrobiology, planetary science and more.

After each talk, a fun Kahoot quiz is offered and the lucky winner walks away with a prize.

All are welcome!
