Presenter: Astronomer Marja Seidel
Held at The Huntington Library on April 9, 2018
What is the universe made of? We can peer millions of years into the past in the night sky, yet we barely understand just 5 percent: the “regular” matter that we can see. In the standard cosmological model, a quarter of the remaining 95 percent is dark matter. Dr. Seidel will discuss her quest to understand dark matter, and her experiences bringing astronomy education to some of the most remote and under-served locations on Earth.
