This sounds like fun!

We have an invitation to attend a Free public lecture on Thursday January 21 at the McMaster Innovation Park @ 7pm
New eyes on the cold universe: the Atacama Large Millimeter Array with Professor Christine Wilson

ABOUT THE LECTURE:
The Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) is a new and powerful radio telescope that has recently completed construction on a high plateau in northern Chile.

The first science results from ALMA include a stunning array of images of astronomical sources ranging from very young stars that are still in the process of forming to galaxies at the limits of the visible universe.

Professor Christine Wilson has been involved with ALMA in a variety of roles throughout its design and construction and will give an overview of the telescope itself as well as some of its most exciting science.
LECTURE DETAILS:
Thursday January 21 @ 7:00 p.m. at the McMaster Innovation Park 175 Longwood Road South in the Atrium@MIP (First Floor Conference Room)   Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

This is late notice, but is anyone besides myself attending this lecture at McMaster? Ed

[Ed.Mizzi]

I attended that lecture at McMaster last evening, the one about the Atacama Large Millimeter Array with Professor Christine Wilson. It was extremely interesting and well worth seeing. There were a few hundred people there and her slides were very telling and informative. That lecture was part of a series of lectures so, who knows, maybe there will be other astronomy-related talks during the year. Ed

Thanks for letting us know how it went Ed.  I was kind of hoping to make it there myself, but my son came home with a fever of 101, so it wasn't to be.
