"The Universe", "the Cosmos", the "final frontier"... whatever you call it, Space is a vast expansion filled with mystery and wonder. Astrophysics and astronomers are constantly making new discoveries and tonight we'd like to share some with you.

Join us @ The New Clarence for a night of Atoms & Galaxies! Ryan Alexander and Lyra Hawkins will take us on a journey across the galaxy from its evolution, right down to the tiny particles that build them.

Something Small: Dwarf Galaxies

Ryan Alexander (PhD Researcher in Astrophysics)
We live in a galaxy which contains billions of stars, but did you know there are other galaxies which only contain a few hundred to a few thousand stars. How did they come to form? How many of them are they? Can we observe them? Dwarf galaxies, what are they?

And Something Big: The Universal Web

Lyra Hawkins (PhD Researcher in Astrophysics )
The universe began, as most good things do, with a bang. Then, nearly 14 billion years later, a particularly hairless group of apes began to question their place in the world. Today we will talk about the driving force behind the growth of our universe, the importance of the hidden, dark, matter, how something as small as a ripple in the early universe can lead to the formation of the largest structures known to man and what we can learn in the study of these titanic arrangements.

Hosted by Professor Brad Gibson

Professor Brad Gibson (Director of E.A. Milne Centre for Astrophysics)
Pint of Science veteran Professor Brad Gibson will bring his unique insights into the Space Sciences to bear upon the evening, in the support of a number of the country’s top Ph.D. students bringing their amazing research to the people from across the region.
