Join us for our March lecture Faster than Light: How Distant Galaxies Do it Without Disappearing (and Other Relativistic Oddities), presented by Robert Nemiroff, Michigan Technological University.

Robert is a University Professor at Michigan Tech in Physics and a Fellow of the American Physical Society. He has a PhD in Astronomy and Astrophysics from the University of Pennsylvania. He worked at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, USA before coming to Michigan Tech.

He is perhaps best known scientifically for papers predicting, usually among others, several recovered microlensing phenomena, and papers showing, usually among others, that gamma-ray bursts were consistent with occurring at cosmological distances. He also co-created the Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) with main NASA website at https://apod.nasa.gov/.
