Bryan Gaensler
The William Lea Room is often called Leaside’s Town Hall and next week it will really change things up with a lecture by Professor Bryan Gaensler on The World Records of the Universe. As Director of the Dunlap Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Dr. Gaensler knows his stuff. He notes that the records which come and go here on earth are puny compared to those set out there in our vast cosmos. What’s the coldest place in space? What’s the fastest object in the Universe? What’s the biggest object we’ve ever seen in space, and the smallest? How weak and how strong does gravity get? Dr. Gaensler has the answers (we’re sure) and it should be an interesting evening. It is free and it happens Tuesday, March 22, 2016 at 6:30 p.m. with Registration and Refreshments followed at 6.50 p.m. by the Presentation and Q&A.
