Pulsars, Microwave Ovens and the Radio Sky - Chris Lintott

Check out Chris Lintott discussing this lecture and your unanswered questions on our brand new podcast "Any Further Questions?' available on Apple and Spotify ****** There have been two major revolutions in how we look at the sky - the shift beyond the optical to other wavelengths, particularly the radio, and the increasing attention paid to how objects change over time. We start with the discovery of pulsars by Jocelyn Bell Burnell, explore how a microwave oven bamboozled astronomers, and discuss the latest research on Fast Radio Bursts, mysterious events detected in galaxies billions of light-years away.
