Los Angeles Chapter meeting on April 19
Astronomical discoveries have followed the development of new telescopes and instrumentation. In the last few decades alone, we have discovered over 800 new planets outside of those in our own Solar System, observed galaxies colliding and merging out to tremendous distances, and observed the entire universe to be expanding at an increasing rate, pulled apart by a cosmic force, unexplained by any of our current physical theories.
Please join us in Los Angeles on Friday, April 19, 2012, 7:30am – 9:00am PST, when Wendy Freedman, Director, Carnegie Observatories and Chairperson of the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) will describe how astronomical telescopes have led to our current understanding of cosmology — the universe on the largest scales. In addition, Wendy will give a current status of the GMT project, and discuss its exciting science goals.
