Lights! Camera! Action! We know we’ve been a bit quiet over on our YouTube channel these days, but we have been sneakily working hard behind the scenes on a relaunch of Cosmos From Your Couch! We are currently filming new episodes and hope to be able to share them with you soon!

On this big CHIME news, a special shout out to grad student @TomasCassanelli, who led the re-development of ARO’s 10-metre telescope. ARO worked in tandem with CHIME to become part of this massive discovery! Full story: bit.ly/38iDRaO University of Toronto

Magnetars could be the source of some fast radio bursts! New data from the amazing CHIME collaboration - including researchers from Dunlap, University of Toronto and the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics -brings us closer to figuring out these fascinating phenomena!
