Founder of STARMUS Festival, (an event that brings together leading scientists, legendary astronauts, iconic musicians, and artists who share their passion for knowledge with the public),  Israelian led the team which found the first observational evidence that supernova explosions are responsible for the formation of stellar mass black holes. 

Now announcing the sixth edition of STARMUS, Garik Israelian joins Scott Roberts on Explore Now to share his inspiration for creating the festival, how Explore Scientific will be involved, and how you too can be part of the amazing STARMUS VI.
