The Secret Life of Galaxies

Galaxies display a dazzling array of shapes, sizes and colours. Once known as island universes, we now know that galaxies gather together and interact with each other leading to some truly spectacular morphologies. Where galaxies live, and indeed their neighbours, have a dramatic effect on them. I will talk about what we have learned about the hidden history of galaxies and what it might mean for our own home, the Milky Way.
