Crawley Astronomical Society - Professor David Bacon on Observational Cosmology

[Doversole]

Hello Astronomers!  

This invitation is for Friday 16th JUNE at 7:30 when we are very pleased to present in the Oak Room upstairs at the Haven Centre, Crawley Down (RH10 4LJ) and by Zoom Video conferencing:.

THE TALK
‘Observational Cosmology – an Update’

Professor David Bacon will introduce from scratch where we’ve got to in our understanding of the Universe. The behaviour of galaxies indicates that there are strange entities, dark matter and dark energy, which dominate the way that the cosmos is developing. Detailed measurements are also showing that our theories are creaking and may need changing, and he will describe some of the attempts to do so. He will discuss the prospects for better understanding with the exciting range of forthcoming world-class telescopes.

THE SPEAKER
This is a return visit from one of our favourite speakers: Professor David Bacon is Associate Director of the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation at Portsmouth University. His research interests include cosmology at radio wavelengths, gravitational lensing, theories of gravity.

We will start the session around 7.15 for a 7:30 start.  Video call link:
