Kosmisches Kino: Measuring the Universe

Presenter
Dr. Steffen Hagstotz
The universe is a cosmic network of galaxies and stars - enormous structures that today extend over millions of light years. The farther away a galaxy is, the longer its light takes to reach us. What does the distribution of galaxies in the sky tell us about the history of the universe? How did it develop? And what role does dark energy play in this?
Cosmology is currently in a golden age. A new observation program of light-sensitive telescopes reaches around the entire globe and is supplemented by state-of-the-art satellite programs. This technology allows us to detect galaxies at great distances and soon to map a considerable portion of all galaxies and thus observe a large part of the history of the universe.

In this Kosmisches Kino, Dr. Steffen Hagstotz from the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität of Munich (LMU) takes us on a journey through the map of galaxies. He gives an overview of the largest structures in the universe, where they come from and what they tell us about dark energy and the cosmos.
This event is in German.
