🔬✨ Scientific Talk at the Cyprus Planetarium ✨🔬

Unraveling the mysteries of the Universe through cosmic radio flashes

The night sky may appear calm — but in radio light, it’s alive with powerful flashes lasting only milliseconds.

In this engaging talk, Kaustubb Rajwade will explore how astronomers learned to detect these fast radio signals and what they reveal about some of the most extreme objects in the Universe.

From the discovery of neutron stars and pulsars in the 1960s — dense stellar remnants spinning hundreds of times per second — to the mystery of Fast Radio Bursts arriving from distant galaxies far beyond the Milky Way, this talk uncovers how brief cosmic signals are helping scientists map invisible matter and test physics under extreme conditions.

A fascinating look at how listening to the fastest signals in space has opened a new window into our dynamic and surprising Universe.
