On Jan. 21, Dr. Christine Wilson will give a talk entitled “New Eyes on the Cold Universe” focusing on the latest findings from the Atacama Large Millimetre Array (ALMA) observatory. The array of 66 radio telescopes is located on a high plateau in the Chilean desert and has recently found evidence of a young star, HL Tauri, in the Taurus constellation which appears to be in the midst of forming a planetary system. Christine was involved in an international team involved in the design and construction of the array between 1999 and 2014 and will be discussing the latest exciting discovery in the talk as part of the “Research in the City” lecture series at the McMaster Innovation Park.
