Get ready to explore the weirdest corners of the cosmos in this science packed adventure through space. From the growing challenges astronomers face: there are simply too many galaxies to study by hand. Then we shift gears to the universe’s most dramatic events: the biggest bangs in history. From the human-made to the hypernova, we’ll explore the science behind cosmic explosions and what they reveal about the universe around us.
Whether you're here for the freaky galaxies or the fireworks, Quirks & Quasars promises a high-energy tour of the cosmos’s most extreme phenomena.

Finding the Weirdest Galaxies using AI
Kieran Broadbelt
(PhD Student)
With new telescopes constantly revealing more and more new galaxies, astronomers are struggling to keep up. Using artificial intelligence and isolation forest algorithms we can find the weirdest and most unique galaxies to look at. We find 'Green Beans', dead spirals, powerful emitters aimed right at us and even star-forming dead galaxies?
