Gravitational Waves

It’s been just over a decade since scientists made the first confirmed detection of a gravitational wave—subtle ripples in the fabric of space-time predicted by Einstein. These waves have opened an entirely new window onto the Universe, revealing phenomena that were once invisible to traditional astronomy. In this class, we’ll explore how gravitational waves are detected, what they’ve taught us about their extraordinary sources, and how this emerging field is reshaping the future of astrophysics.

Class level: Introductory - This class is recommended for guests of any background. Classes will be held in Mitchel (smaller) building.

Tickets: Non-members - $25/class, Members - $20/class, Student (with valid ID) - $10/class
