Galaxy Collisions and Evolution: Featuring Michelle Seoyeon Park from Stanford ICME
The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed galaxies that appeared far earlier, brighter, and larger than astronomers ever expected. So how did they form? Join special guest Michelle Seoyeon Park from Stanford's Institute for Computational & Mathematical Engineering as we journey into a simulated universe. Discover how gravity, exploding stars, and other powerful forces shape the first galaxies and how astronomers compare these virtual universes with real JWST observations to uncover the physics behind our cosmic origins.
Tentatively planned for Early January
Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
We're also excited about a potential additional event on the horizon. Please keep an eye out for a special first-look imagery domecast in coordination with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, tentatively planned for early January.
