Supernovae — colossal star explosions — are illuminating in more ways than one. For celebrated supernova researcher Dr. Andrew Howell, these dramatic celestial events are a treasure trove of insights, shedding light on topics from extreme physics to human history. As the Principal Investigator of the Global Supernova Project, Dr. Howell leads a worldwide collaboration of researchers who are observing 1,000 supernovae more intensely than at any point in history. In “Supernovae Insights,” he will share remarkable discoveries, from his own observations to those of his colleagues and predecessors. And we’ll get a preview of how new technologies and expanding observatories will continue to drive our discoveries — and our wonder.
