The Universe 2: The Milky Way

Fri June 13th at 11:00am

_2255

We used to think that Earth was at the centre of the universe but now we know we are not even at the centre of our own galaxy.

 

Countless wonders exist between where Earth is situated and the massive black hole at the galactic centre of our solar system.

 

Within the Milky Way can be found the debris of old, dying stars, which fuel the birth of new stars. At the galactic centre, hypervelocity stars get catapulted at unimaginable speeds clear beyond the Milky Way’s outer rim.

 

Come along for a guided tour of the 100,000 light-year-wide family of stars and stellar phenomena we call the Milky Way.
