DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE THE DATE CHANGE FOR THIS MONTH'S STAR TALKS E
 VENT. LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, has 
 detected hundreds of binary black hole mergers since the discovery of GW15
 0914 over 10 years ago, and the tenth anniversary of gravitational-wave as
 trophysics was marked with a paper proving Hawking's black hole theor
 em with the most precisely measured black hole system to date.  Dr. Brenn
 an Hughey will give an update on the past, present, and future of the LIGO
  experiment, including things happening right in Prescott with our four fa
 culty member LIGO group.Dr. Brennan Hughey is a professor of physics and c
 hair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, ERAU. Dr. Hughey holds a
  Ph.D. in physics from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. His doctoral
  thesis was done with the IceCube neutrino detector experiment, and his gr
 aduate work included a trip to the South Pole, where the detector is locat
 ed. After earning his Ph.D. he joined the LIGO collaboration in the search
  for gravitational waves.Star Talks is a monthly lecture series taking pla
 ce on the first Wednesday of the month exploring various topics about astr
 onomy. Star Talks are held in partnership with ​Prescott Astronomy Club 
 and presented with funding from Friends of the Prescott Public Library.
