Tuesday April 3, 13:00 Eastern
Originating live from Chandra's "Operations Control Center" (OCC) in Cambridge, MA, this interactive program will feature real-time exchanges between students around the nation and leading Chandra researchers such as CXO Director, Harvey Tananbaum, Project Scientist, Martin Weisskopf (NASA Marshall), instrument builder and astronomer Stephen Murray, from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, MIT's Kathy Flanagan, and others. Students will see the results of the first "Chandra Challenge" activity. We'll explore the "chicken and egg" riddle of whether black holes make galaxies, or galaxies make black holes, and the role of gravity-the primary architect of black holes-in generating all structures in the Universe. Mike Turner from Fermilab will explain how particle accelerators, telescopes and spacecraft combine to allow us to explore the Universe from "Quarks to the Cosmos". We'll see how new missions, spacecraft and instruments will soon bring us still more understanding of the most extreme and fascinating environments of our Universe.
