How massive can a black hole get? Can you hide one star inside another? Why would a star only pretend to explode? Astronomers have built careers on answering these baffling questions, observing and studying some of the weirdest and most fascinating objects in the universe. Our speaker Dr. Emily Levesque will highlight some of the weirdest objects in the universe and share the adventures (and misadventures) of the scientists behind their discovery. Dr. Levesque is an astronomy professor at the University of Washington. Her research is focused on understanding how the most massive stars in the universe evolve and die. She's currently writing a popular science book titled "The Last Stargazers" that shares the stories and adventures of astronomical observing.
