Supernovae, Exoplanets, Black Holes, and New Technology: Frontier Research at UC's Lick Observatory
Lick Observatory is a vibrant research facility, and a primary base for the University of California's astronomy education and outreach efforts. Cutting-edge fields include supernovae, Earth-like exoplanets, supermassive black holes, and laser-guide-star adaptive optics. Come find out about discoveries and public outreach being done at Lick, now partially supported by a generous gift from Google | Making Science, and how you can help sustain these activities.
We expected the attractive force of gravity to slow down the rate at which the Universe is expanding. But observations of very distant exploding stars (supernovae) show that the expansion rate is actually speeding up, a remarkable discovery that was honored with the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics to the teams' leaders. Over the largest distances, the Universe seems to be dominated by a repulsive "dark energy" -- an idea Albert Einstein had suggested in 1917 but renounced in 1929 as his "biggest blunder." It stretches space itself faster and faster with time. But the physical origin and nature of dark energy, which makes up about 70% of the contents of the Universe, is probably the most important unsolved problem in all of physics; it may provide clues to a unified quantum theory of gravity.
About the Speaker: Alex Filippenko is the Richard & Rhoda Goldman Distinguished Professor in the Physical Sciences. His accomplishments, documented in about 700 research papers, have been recognized by several major prizes, and he is one of the world's most highly cited astronomers. In 2009 he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences, and he shared part of the Gruber Cosmology Prize in 2007. He has won the top teaching awards at UC Berkeley and has been voted the "Best Professor" on campus a record 9 times. In 2006 he was selected as the Carnegie/CASE National Professor of the Year among doctoral institutions, and in 2010 he won the ASP's Emmons Award for undergraduate teaching. He has produced five astronomy video courses with "The Great Courses," coauthored an award-winning textbook, and appears in numerous TV documentaries including about 40 episodes of "The Universe" series. An avid tennis player, hiker, and skier, he enjoys world travel and is addicted to observing total solar eclipses (11 so far).

Alex Filippenko received his Ph.D. in astronomy from Caltech in 1984 and joined the University of California, Berkeley faculty in 1986, where he is currently the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Distinguished Professor in the Physical Sciences. An observational astronomer who makes frequent use of the Hubble Space Telescope and the Keck 10- meter telescopes, his primary areas of research are supernovae, active galaxies, black holes, gamma-ray bursts, and the expansion of the Universe. Filippenko's research accomplishments, documented in more than 700 published papers, have been recognized with several major awards, including election to the US National Academy of Sciences. One of the world's most highly cited astronomers, he was the only person to have been a member of both teams that revealed the accelerating expansion of the Universe, propelled by mysterious "dark energy." This discovery was deemed the "Top Breakthrough of 1998" by the editors of Science magazine. The teams received the 2007 Gruber Cosmology Prize for their discovery, which was subsequently honored with the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics to the leaders.

How do we know where to find supernovae? What's driving the search for dark energy and dark matter? How can we learn about parts of the universe that are impossibly far away?
Come join Alex Filippenko, an American astrophysicist and Professor of Astronomy from the University of California, Berkeley, to find out.
Professor Filippenko is the only person who was a member of two teams that discovered we have an accelerating universe, and its implied existence of dark energy. This discovery resulted in the 2011 Nobel prize for physics being awarded to the leaders of the two project teams.

World-renowned astronomer and prize-winning professor of astronomy at the University of California, Berkeley, Alex Filippenko, explores some of the mysteries of the universe at a special lecture at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. Filippenko discusses observations of very distant exploding starts called super-novae that provide intriguing evidence that the expansion of the universe is now speeding up. Over the largest scales of space, the universe seems to be dominated by a repulsive "dark energy" of unknown origin, stretching the very fabric of space itself faster and faster with time.

How do we know where to find supernovae? What's driving the search for dark energy and dark matter? How can we learn about parts of the universe that are impossibly far away?
Come join Alex Filippenko, an American astrophysicist and Professor of Astronomy from the University of California, Berkeley, to find out.
Professor Filippenko is the only person who was a member of two teams that discovered we have an accelerating universe, and its implied existence of dark energy. This discovery resulted in the 2011 Nobel prize for physics being awarded to the leaders of the two project teams.

World-renowned astronomer and prize-winning professor of astronomy at the University of California, Berkeley, Alex Filippenko, explores some of the mysteries of the universe at a special lecture at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. Filippenko discusses observations of very distant exploding starts called super-novae that provide intriguing evidence that the expansion of the universe is now speeding up. Over the largest scales of space, the universe seems to be dominated by a repulsive "dark energy" of unknown origin, stretching the very fabric of space itself faster and faster with time.

Alex Filippenko received his Ph.D. in Astronomy from Caltech in 1984 and joined the University of California, Berkeley faculty in 1986, where he is currently the Richard and Rhoda Goldman Distinguished Professor in the Physical Sciences. An observational astronomer who makes frequent use of the Hubble Space Telescope and the Keck 10-meter telescopes, his primary areas of research are supernovae, active galaxies, black holes, gamma-ray bursts, and the expansion of the Universe. Elected to the National Academy of Sciences and one of the world's most highly cited astronomers, he has coauthored more than 640 scientific publications and is the recipient of numerous prizes for his research. He was a member of both teams that discovered the accelerating expansion of the Universe, propelled by mysterious "dark energy."
