Скачать или смотреть Rewinding the Orbits of Nearby Galaxies - Ekta Patel - 09/16/2024

How can scientists know what our own Milky Way galaxy looked like millions of years ago? Why has our galaxy changed through interactions with nearby galaxies? Join us at our next Astronomy on Tap for insights from Dr. Ekta Patel, a NASA Hubble Fellow from University of Utah.

Astronomy on Tap is a global phenomenon where professional scientists give informal science talks in local bars with accompanying pub trivia and interactions with the public. The Los Angeles chapter of Astronomy on Tap is very active, with monthly events at the Dog Haus Biergarten in Pasadena. This recording is a bit noisy due to the logistics of operating a camera in a crowded bar, but it sufficiently captures the enthusiastic energy of the few hundred attendees each month. Join us for a future Astronomy on Tap night--free and open to all, no reservations necessary: https://www.astro.caltech.edu/outreac...

Dr. Ekta Patel is currently a NASA Hubble Fellow in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Utah. Her research interests include near-field cosmology, galaxy dynamics, and dark matter. She uses the combined power of observational data sets with data from high-resolution simulations of the Universe to uncover how galaxies grow, evolve, and interact with each other over cosmic time. https://www.ektapatelastro.com/
