*Event Type*: [[PublicLectures][Lecture and Stargazing]]<br>
*Title*: The Universe through X-ray Eyes<br>
*Lecturer*: Fiona Harrison<br>
*Position*: Professor, PMA Division Chair<br>
*Institution*: Caltech<br>
*Abstract*:<br>
The last decades have seen a revolution in astronomy with access to space, enabling telescopes that span the electromagnetic spectrum. Powerful telescopes have been launched that can view the universe in X-rays and gamma-rays, enabling astronomers to probe some of the hottest, densest and most energetic regions in the Universe.     I will talk about how our current, panchromatic view has changed our understanding of the Universe, focusing on the high energy X-ray telescope NuSTAR.
