Witness colliding galaxies, explore stellar nurseries, see gravitational lenses, and literally observe the past unfold. We are currently in an unprecedented astronomical era thanks to powerful tools like the Hubble Space Telescope. The light that falls on these telescopes has often travelled billions of years before ultimately reaching Earth, but it is in this same light in which we can read the life cycles of stars and recount the entire history of the cosmos. This amazing and visually rich lecture, set to the Blue Danube waltz, allows students to travel with Professor Helfand on a unique tour of all of space and time.
