COSMIC THURSDAYS, a series of public and free talks on astronomy. The talks are designed with the general audience in mind. They are fun, easy to understand, and engaging.
- Date: Thursday, March 14 – 6:30 PM
- Speaker: Prof. Anson D’Aloisio [Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, UCR]
- Place: UC Riverside, Physics Building Room #3035
- Talk: ‘Cosmic Dawn: The Birth of Galaxies in Our Universe’
The Milky Way is but one of an estimated two trillion galaxies in our observable Universe. Modern astronomical telescopes have revealed a rich ecosystem of galaxies, but our Universe wasn’t always that way. In fact, there was a time when galaxies did not exist. In this talk, Prof. Anson D’Aloisio will describe how astronomers are trying to unravel the mystery of how and when the first galaxies formed.
