Dr Adelle Goodwin is an astrophysicist at ICRAR, Curtin University. When you look up at the night sky there are billions of stars twinkling, but, what happens when these stars die? Adelle’s research looks at the objects we don’t see: the dense remnants of dead stars called black holes and neutron stars.
