Nehru Planetarium, Prime Ministers Museum and Library
cordially invites you to an exciting public lecture on
🌟 The Brightest Pulses in the Universe 🌟
What are the most powerful radio flashes ever detected from deep space?

Prof. Duncan Lorimer, FRS
Professor of Physics & Astronomy, West Virginia University
Fellow of the Royal Society

✨ About the Talk
Nearly two decades ago, the discovery of the first Fast Radio Burst (FRB) revealed a completely new cosmic phenomenon. Originating from extreme environments near neutron stars, FRBs have since become powerful tools to explore the large-scale structure of the Universe. 🌠
In this captivating talk, Prof. Lorimer narrates the story behind the discovery, the role of curiosity and serendipity in science, and the exciting future of FRB research.
Perfect for students, educators, and space enthusiasts, this lecture bridges classroom physics with real-world astrophysics and frontier research.
