At 6:30 pm on Thursday, April 10 in the Salon Cassia, Dr. Karan Jani will share with the Valley community how Earth's only natural satellite - the Moon - could become our planet's next great observatory. As the U.S. returns to its surface through the Artemis program, the possibility arises to utilize the lunar surface as a platform to detect gravitational waves with revolutionary new project, the Laser Interferometer Lunar Antenna or LILA. Dr. Jani will explore how by listening to these cosmic vibrations, LILA will test Einstein’s theory of relativity from the event horizons of black holes to the vast cosmic expansion driven by Dark Energy.
