DESCRIPTION:Astronomy is experiencing a golden-age of data gathering. Powe
 rful digital cameras and sensitive spectrographs mounted on some of the wo
 rld’s largest telescopes\, are now enabling us to map hundreds of millio
 ns of astronomical sources all the way from the local to the very early Un
 iverse. Big surveys also open up discovery space for us to identify some o
 f the rarest and most exotic objects that populate our Universe. I will de
 scribe how some of the current big sky surveys are changing the face of ob
 servational astronomy\, discuss some of my own research into the hunt for 
 rare accreting supermassive black holes using these big surveys\, and conc
 lude with some future prospects on new telescopes and facilities that are 
 set to revolutionise the field.\n\n\nTickets are £2 or free for members. 
 Annual membership (£7) and life membership (£12) can also be purchased a
 t the event - please bring cash.\n\nThe talk will be followed by refreshme
 nts outside the lecture theatre.\n\nThe talk will be at the usual location
  of Wolfson lecture theatre in the Department of Chemistry. The entrance i
 s the opposite side of the building to Bristol-Myers-Squibb Lecture theatr
 e and is opposite the car park- shown by the red arrow on the map. "https:
