The search for habitable planets, black holes, and cosmic gold
With new technology, astronomers can see far beyond our galaxy to the edges of the universe. The space between holds spectacular mysteries, which scientists are working to decipher. From hunting for earth-like planets and clusters of black holes to discovering ripples in the fabric of spacetime, Berkeley scientists are making landmark discoveries as they interrogate the depths of space. Join Chancellor Carol T. Christ and distinguished faculty and friends for a stellar evening of cosmic exploration, featuring physicist Daniel Kasen M.S. ’01, Ph.D. ’04, professor and faculty scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; Chung-Pei Ma, Judy Chandler Webb Professor of Astronomy and Physics; and astronomy professor Courtney Dressing.
