The Last 10 Years of Astrophysics - May 11, 2024

The landscape of astrophysics research and our understanding of the universe has changed dramatically over the past 10 years since the founding of Coffeeshop Astrophysics. Gravitational waves were first discovered in a groundbreaking detection by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (LIGO). The discovery of thousands of exoplanets, some potentially habitable, helped expand the horizons of planetary science. There were also enormous advancements in space technology and instrumentation such as the James Webb Space Telescope, which in only a couple of years has completely transformed our understanding of the universe both near and far. In this talk we will review the exciting discoveries and scientific improvements of the last decade and talk about what we hope to accomplish in the next ten years!
