About the event
Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see one of the best science presenters in the country, astrophysicist Dr. Shane Larson, discuss NASA & the ESA's new larger-than-life project: the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). LISA is built to detect ripples in the fabric of spacetime itself, and it's a rotating space laser made of three spacecraft separated by millions of miles – making the observatory larger than the sun. No, really.
Sound like science fiction? It's real, and Dr. Larson - whose current work is the upcoming LISA space mission - is coming to Boise to talk about it. Not only is the science mind-blowing, but Dr. Larson is renowned for his incredible presentations and engaging keynotes. You won't want to miss it! This talk will explore the modern description of gravity, what gravitational waves are and how we hope to measure them, and what we hope to learn from their detection. LISA…
