[Columbia Astronomy Outreach] Lecture & Stargazing tonight at 8pm!

[Columbia Astronomy Public Outreach]

Hi Everyone,

If you've ever wondered why dark matter matters, tonight's talk is for you! Post-doc Kerstin Perez will explain what we know about the invisible side of our Universe and why we suspect dark matter is everywhere. 

The forecast for tonight is looking good so observing is very likely! The fun starts at 8pm. 

Abstract: Lurking in every corner of the universe is mysterious form of matter, invisible to the standard instruments of astronomy. Not only does this "dark matter" permeate the universe, it is five times more plentiful than the typical matter that forms stars, planets, dust, gas, and everything we see on this earth, embodying entirely new laws of physics. In this talk, I will explain how we know that there exists matter we cannot see, and the innovative ways that modern scientists are trying to identify what it could be.
