Conversations that Matter with VJ: From Galaxies to the Big Bang: Exploring the Universe at Its Largest Scales

Step beyond the Milky Way and into the vast universe beyond. In this talk, we’ll follow the light from distant galaxies to uncover how astronomers piece together the story of an expanding cosmos - from the lives of stars to the earliest moments after the Big Bang. Along the way, we’ll explore some of the universe’s most striking phenomena and the clues they leave behind, revealing how observation, experiment, and curiosity allow us to understand a universe far large and older than we can imagine.
