Astronomy & Cosmology | ||
| Speaker: | John Varghese | |

| Time: | 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. | |
| Location: | Science House | |
| Summary: | Let us take a journey into the universe powered by the insights of great minds like Pythagoras, Copernicus, Newton, Einstein and Hubble and answer questions such as: How far away is the moon? How far away is the sun? How do we measure the distance to stars and galaxies? How old is the universe? And how do we know that? In this talk, physicist Varghese John will give us an introduction to Astronomy and provide an historical context for our current understanding of the Universe. He'll give us a foundational understanding of physical Cosmology and the structure and dynamics of our Universe that will help illuminate concepts such as the Big Bang, Dark Matter, Dark Energy and the eventual fate of the universe. | |

Science House will be hosting guest lecturers speaking on a wide range of science topics. Admission is always free, but seating is limited so reserve well in advance.
These informal sessions will bring together scientists from different fields of study to discuss a wide range of topics such as cutting edge research, how to improve the image of science, and questions as fundamental as how the universe began.
If you think that your current research may have commercial potential, stop by one of our pitch meetings to describe your entrepreneurial vision. We'll provide free business advice and perhaps even fund your business.
Team members from Science House will periodically be attending science conferences in the New York area. Meet up with us for an informal chat!
