We can now see the Universe as it was only 100,000 years after the big bang, before galaxies even existed. We have found hundreds of planets orbiting other stars and are trying to detect their atmospheres to see if there are hints of life. We regularly detect supernovae (exploding stars) that went off billions of years before the earth even formed. And we’ve discovered some kind of ‘dark energy’ that is making the expansion of the Universe speed up (and one day might teach us how to harness anti-gravity to make hover-boards). Tamara will talk about these and other things she researches in her life as an astrophysicist.  Mid North Coast Post Secondary Options Expo The Mid North Coast Post Secondary Options Expo will be held on Wednesday, 27th July at the Coffs Harbour Education Campus gymnasium between 9.30am and 12 noon.
