Evans (University of Virginia, Charlottesville/NRAO/Stony Brook University)The next talk of the Virtual Babelsberg Starry Nights of the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) will be broadcast on the YouTube channel “videowissen” from Thursday, 16th May 2024.
On Thursday at 7 p.m., Dr Elena Sacchi's lecture on ‘A simple Recipe to make a Galaxy’ from the Babelsberg Starry Nights series will be online. Galaxies come in different shapes and sizes, but just like cakes or pies, the main basic ingredients are always the same. In her lecture, the scientist explains what makes the galaxies nevertheless different, which mechanisms are driving the galaxy formation and evolution, and influencing their structure and appearance. She also discusses which impact interactions between galaxies have and how they affect their types and sizes.
Usually on the 3rd Thursday of each month, starting at 7 or 8 p.m., the lectures of the Virtual Babelsberg Starry Nights become available at

and via the YouTube channels "Urknall, Weltall und das Leben" (Big Bang, Universe and Life) or "videowissen" and can be viewed afterwards at any time.
