The webinar will begin with Dr. Robert Nemiroff as our special guest speaker. Dr. Nemiroff is a renowned astrophysicist, co-creator of NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD), and an expert in gamma-ray bursts.
His talk will include, "The Great Astronomy Debate of 1995: The Distance Scale to Gamma-Ray Bursts" which discusses how the GRB community used to be divided between a galactic and cosmological setting for GRBs, NASA's APOD, and recent theories of GRBs.
