Illuminating Dark Matter, online – Apr18
Dark matter is the cosmic parent of all vast structures in the night sky, including our own Milky Way galaxy. Yet we know so very little about this mysterious stuff that constitutes 85%(!) of the material universe. This online presentation will illuminate our universe’s elusive dark matter, highlighting the ingenious methods that scientists are using to find out what dark matter really is.
Our speaker, physicist Robert McGehee, is a doctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley. He is also a Wonderfest Science Envoy. Robert will answer questions during the video premiere via the YouTube "chat" bar.
