The Universe is teeming with beauty. Only relatively recent advances in technology have allowed us to capture it in all its glory.
In this autumn lecture, Royal Observatory astronomer Jake Foster explores the Universe on an expansive scale, showcasing and examining the gargantuan structures of stars, planets, gas and dark matter that populate our cosmos.
Why do galaxies cannibalise each other? When will the Milky Way meet its end? And how many distant galactic superstructures lie beyond our gaze?
This event will take place at the National Maritime Museum, but will also be live streamed via Zoom.
