Name: The Big Picture
Start: 2016-05-23T
End: 2016-05-23T
Location: Farrs School of Dancing

Join us on a tour through the universe; from the very first molecules to be formed to the chemicals required for life to evolve. Find out about the origins of the universe, the origins of life, how the first supernovae were observed, and how these all add up to aid our understanding of the universe.

During the event there will be a pub quiz and special Pint of Science and Mendeley goodies to be won!

This event will be held in the basement.

Chemical Cosmos: A Guided Tour

Professor Steve Miller (Professor of Planetary Astronomy & Head of Science and Technology Studies)

What happens between the origins of the universe and the origins of life? Discovering the movements toward life as we know it now originating from the hydrogen atom.

Stupendous Supernovae

Dr Steve Fossey (Teaching Fellow in Astronomy)

How were the first supernovae observed and why were they such strange observations? From what we know now, can we gain a deeper understanding of the universe through these observations?
