AoT Groningen returns!

We’re back! AoT Groningen is happy to announce our return Wednesday 8 November!
The speaker this month is the fantastic Joe Callingham (ASTRON) talking about Life around a radio star.
Astronomers can now easily identify planets outside our Solar System. However, it remains a mystery if such planets can host life. I will reveal how radio waves emitted from exoplanets can help us understand if life could exist around the most common stars in the Galaxy.
