The Astronomy Department is delighted to announce the 2014 Sturm Lecture by Dr. Meg Urry, Director of the Yale Center for Astronomy & Astrophysics and President of the American Astronomical Society.
“Black Holes, Galaxies, and the Evolution of the Universe”
Lecture summary: Black holes form in the young Universe and, over the next 13 billion years or so, accrete enormous amounts of matter from the galaxy that surrounds each one. By the present time, a black hole and its host galaxy have grown in mass by factors of a million or more, roughly in lockstep. By taking the census of black hole growth across cosmic time, we reveal the evolution of the Universe itself.
Wednesday, April 2, 2014, 8:00 pm CFA Hall

The Sturm Lecture is sponsored by the Astronomy Department, the Baldwin University Lectures Fund, and the Connecticut Space Grant Consortium.

In the monsoon season of the 1980s, a young girl enters a harsh institution and befriends an ostracized boy. Misunderstood and bullied, the two outcasts sneak off into the jungles and monsoon canals behind their school, to carve out a private world of fantasy and freedom. But as they hatch a plan to escape from Singapore in search of a better life, the monsoon rains intensify and a vow of secrecy forces Syafiqah to embark on a quest for independence well beyond her years.
