DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Anze Slosar (BNL)\n\nAbstract: LuSEE-Night is a nove
 l collaborative effort between NASA and DOE aiming to land a path-finder r
 adio telescope on the far side of the Moon.  The instrument consists of 4
  monopole antennas and will observe the radio sky between 0.1Mhz and 50MHz
 . This observational band is largely inaccessible from the Earth due to io
 nosphere and radio interference\, but offers potentially transformational 
 information about the early universe.  It is manifested to launch on the 
 Firefly Blue Ghost Mission 2 to land in early 2027. There will be many att
 empted first: first US landing on the lunar far side\, first landing on th
 e lunar far-side by a private company\, first atttempt to survive the luna
 r night in the modern times\, first demonstration of a radio calibration f
 rom a dedicated orbiting calibrator around any body and the first radio in
 strument on the lunar far-side delivering science-grade data.  I will des
 cribe the science\, the instrument and future opportunities for fundamenta
 l physics from the far side of the Moon.\n \nJoin videoconference\n\nhttp
