SETI Live: Accidental Astronomy: How Random Discoveries Shape the Science of Space

Scientific discovery relies on luck sometimes, and nowhere is that more true than in astronomy. Supernova aren't predictable. New comets are discovered every month. Asteroids enter our atmosphere shortly after being found. So many of these discoveries rely on being or looking in the right place at the right time. In his latest book, Dr. Chris Lintott - co-presenter of the BBC’s long-running Sky at Night - discusses the challenges faced in our night sky observations and how scientists and amateurs work together to mitigate those challenges.

Join Beth Johnson and Dr. Lintott in an engaging conversation about Accidental Astronomy and how random discoveries shape the science of space.
