Cosmology is the study of the structure, contents, and evolution of the universe as a whole. This talk will explore the basics of cosmology, including what we know about the early universe, the evidence for dark matter, the formation of structure and, ultimately, the formation galaxies like the Milky Way. Prof. Elizabeth Barton will also describe the evidence for the new, mysterious “dark energy” that appears to be accelerating the expansion of the universe. This promises to be exciting. If you’re riveted by Cosmology — which is the scientific tudy of the structure and evolution of the Universe — then you’ll want to catch the latest results.
