Telescopes that see gravity and capture elusive neutrinos
In short: Professor Carolin Crawford explores how observational astronomy is moving beyond traditional light-based imaging to detect the invisible forces of our universe.
The lecture highlights a shift toward novel forms of telescopes designed to 'see' gravity or produce images from neutrinos. These advancements represent a significant evolution in how we study the cosmos, moving past standard visual observations to capture fundamental physical phenomena.
Presented at Gresham College—an institution that has provided free public lectures since 1597—the talk provides students and enthusiasts with a glimpse into the future of astronomical technology.
