SUMMARY:General Meeting – August 2025
DESCRIPTION: Join Zoom\n\nThis meeting’s speaker will present online from Topeka\, KS.\nExploding Stars and Life on Earth\n  \n \nScientists have long speculated that the history of life on Earth may have been influenced by cosmic explosions such as supernovae.  In recent decades the combination of astrophysical data and computational models have allowed detailed study of the potential effects of nearby stellar explosions on Earth’s atmosphere and biosphere.  Impacts range from destruction of stratospheric ozone\, exposing life to extreme levels of solar UV\, to direct damage to organisms by high-energy neutrons and muons.  This talk will summarize what is known today and discuss connections to mass extinctions and the evolution of life over the last few hundred million years. \n \nDr. Brian Thomas is a Professor in the Physics & Astronomy Department at Washburn University\, in Topeka\, Kansas.  Since 2003 he has worked on various problems related to understanding how the history of life on Earth may have been affected by high-energy astrophysical events such as gamma-ray bursts and supernovae.  He and collaborators from multiple disciplines have together produced some of the most detailed and state-of-the-art studies of the effects on Earth by nearby stellar explosions. \nViews: 158
