The Universe is constantly changing. Galaxies are born and stars burn out. And even the universe itself is expanding as we speak. In this month edition of Astronomy on Tap we will hear about starburst galaxies and dark matter and dark energy. Our speakers are: Bitten Gullberg: Starburst galaxies are the most intense star-forming galaxies […]
We have heard a lot about how incredible space telescopes are, but the huge telescopes we have down on earth are also wonders of engineering. In this month edition of Astronomy on Tap we will hear about two of the most revolutionary ground-based telescopes. Our speakers are: Johan Fynbo : Right now there is a […]
Just in time for summer finally arriving in Denmark, we are taking a plunge in the cold molecular clouds to learn more about the formation of complex molecules. But we will also take out our sunglasses to have a look at gamma-ray burst which are some of the most luminous events in the Universe since […]
Chances are high you have heard about planets at some point in your life. Be it our Earth and the planets in the Solar System or the over 5000 Exoplanets that we have discovered so far. But have you ever wondered where these planets come from? If the answer is yes you should join at […]
A body so massive that not even light can escape. What else could be meant by that than a black hole? At first many scientists - including Einstein - thought that it should be impossible to form such a body. But in science the impossible i sometimes the reality and since 2019 we even have […]
There are over 100 billion stars in the Milky Way alone. But what are they made out of? And where do they come from? These are just some of the questions we will answer in this month Astronomy on Tap. Our first speaker Victoria Antoci will tell us how we can use stellar quakes to […]
Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. This is how Douglas Adam describes space. So how do astronomers manage to study the universe at the largest scale? Join us in this month's Astronomy on Tap to find out! Schedule: 18:30: Doors open to the STARDUST Room 19:00: Daniele […]
Space and time are connected, the further away we look into the night sky, the further we go back in time. This allows us to see the first structures ever formed in the Universe, the first galaxies. So what techniques do astronomers use to find the first galaxies? And what do they look like? Join […]
Galaxies come in all shapes and sizes from dwarf galaxies to supergiant elliptical galaxies. But did they always look like that? Luckily space and time are connected. The further away we look, the further we go back in time. In this edition of Astronomy on Tap Copenhagen, Gonzalo will show us some of the techniques […]
