Join us for Caltech's free Stargazing Lecture, "What Did the Big Bang Sound Like?" with Professor Rana Adhikari, on Friday, November 20 at the Cahill Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics.

The lecture covers gravitational waves, how we might detect the faint echo of the universe's first moments, and some of cosmology's biggest open mysteries. It's pitched at a public level, so no science background is needed. The 30-minute talk is followed by a panel Q&A and guided stargazing with telescopes (weather permitting).

Schedule:
• 7:30pm: Doors open
• 8:00pm: Announcements
• 8:05pm: Lecture begins
• 8:45pm: Q&A panel and guided stargazing
• 9:45pm: End of event

The event is free and no reservations are needed. Stay as long as you like.

If there's interest, we can also grab drinks at a bar next to campus before or after the event. Let me know in the comments or by message if you'd like to join!
