Dwarf Galaxies, Dark Matter, and the Milky Way - FREE Virtual Astronomy Talk

[Spile]

Astronomy Talk - Dozens of small galaxies have been discovered orbiting our Milky Way galaxy over the past decade.  These “ultra-faint” galaxies are less luminous than any other known galaxy, and are several million times fainter than the Milky Way itself. W. M. Keck Observatory has played a key role in showing that the ultra-faint galaxies are the oldest and most dark matter-dominated galaxies in the known universe. These ultra-faint galaxies are dramatically reshaping our understanding of galaxy formation and may hold the keys to deciphering the nature of dark matter itself.

Do you know if this will be recorded?  If my calculations are correct that's 3am here so I won't be up unless it is a clear night.

Thanks
