You're invited to RASC Toronto speaker night! In the fall through spring, we invite professional astronomers, PhD candidates, and scientists to discuss their projects and research.

[UPDATED]

Speaker: Alysa Obertas, PhD (cand) from the Dunlap Institute, Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics, University of Toronto.

Topic: How to Destroy a Planet. Throughout its 4.5 billion year history, life on Earth has been threatened by cataclysmic events such as extreme volcanic eruptions and asteroid impacts. While events like these drastically altered the face of the Earth, our planet still remained. What would it take to completely obliterate the Earth? In this talk, we will explore some of the extraordinary environments and scenarios in our universe which can cause the complete destruction of the variety of planets that astronomers have discovered in our galaxy.

Please join us and feel free to participate in the interactive Chat channel. See you online!
