Embark on an awe-inspiring journey from stellar nurseries to supermassive black holes as we explore the greatest mysteries of our cosmos.
Witness how massive clouds of gas transform into blazing stars, marvel at our own Sun's remarkable features, and grasp the mind-bending distances between celestial objects. Experience the grand finale as massive stars end their lives in spectacular supernova explosions, birthing enigmatic black holes. Along the way, we will walk through our growing understanding of our universe and discover why most of our universe remains invisible – as dark matter shapes our galaxies and dark energy drives cosmic expansion. Join us for this illuminating adventure through what we know about our universe... and what still keeps astronomers searching the night sky in this presentation by Ed Sehr.
