[NOVAC announcement] March 28 Lecture on The Gravitational Wave Astronomical Revolution

[Chris Kagy]

Good morning, NOVAC.  We received a notice that the National Academies of
Sciences, Engineering and Medicine is hosting a lecture on Gravitational
Wave Astronomy on March 28 at their office in downtown DC. If you attend
the lecture and then come to the April meeting, please consider telling us
about it during the observing reports.

Best,
-Chris Kagy
NOVAC President

Hi NOVAC Team,

I hope this email finds you well! The National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine is organizing a public lecture on March 28, and I
wanted to invite NOVAC members to attend. We have a fantastic speaker lined
up, and the talk will be appropriate for science-enthusiasts of all
backgrounds :-). If you are willing to spread the word, I'd greatly
appreciate it! I've included a blurb and all the relevant info below.

Thank you so much for your help, and please let me know if you have any
questions!

PUBLIC LECTURE ON MARCH 28, 2018
The Gravitational Wave Astronomical Revolution

In late 2015, the LIGO Observatories detected the collision and fusion of
the two black holes, directly measuring the gravitational waves produced
during the event for the first time. This discovery has profound
implications for our understanding of the Universe. Dr. David Reitze will
discuss how the LIGO Observatories detect gravitational waves and how
gravitational-wave observatories promise to revolutionize astronomy in the
coming years and decades.

Date and Time: Wednesday, March 28, 2018 at 7:00 pm ET

Location: National Academy of Sciences Building, 2101 Constitution Ave.,
N.W., Washington, DC, 20418
