Description

From the glow of our Sun to the faint light of the most distant galaxies, every observation carries a piece of the universe’s story. Astronomy and cosmology allow us to weave these pieces together into a grand narrative of origins, evolution, and destiny.

This talk will trace humanity’s quest to understand the cosmos: how we measure the heavens, decode the light of stars, and use cosmic “yardsticks” to reach across unimaginable distances. We’ll explore the engines that power stars and shape galaxies, the evidence for an expanding universe born in a Big Bang, and the ongoing mysteries of dark matter and dark energy.

Join us as we trace the universe’s story - and our own - across time, from its origins to its unfolding future.
