About our speaker:
Dr. Larry Molnar, Physics and Astronomy Professor at Calvin
College, is coming to speak at an open event at GVSU. Dr. Molnar has
made ripples in the international Astronomy community recently, with
his research focusing on contact binary stars. In the spring of 2017
Dr. Molnar, with the help of his pupils at Calvin, published a paper
demonstrating ways to detect and predict luminous red novae. Since
then, Dr. Molnar and his team have come ever closer to understanding
contact binaries and red nova, paving a way for future direct
observation of these exciting and elusive phenomena.
