The invisible night sky

Dr Jen Gupta

Gazing at the night sky with our eyes or telescopes reveals twinkling stars and far away galaxies. But visible light is only a small part of what some of these objects are emitting. Join astrophysicist Jen Gupta to discover views of the Universe at other wavelengths, from familiar objects like our Sun to weird and wonderful distant quasars, and learn some of the physics behind these views.

Particularly suited to ages 11+ but all ages are welcome.
