Monthly Meeting

We still know very little about dark matter, although it is said to account for roughly six times more mass than all of the ordinary matter in the universe. One way we can learn more about dark matter is by studying the smallest and darkest galaxies, which contain hundreds of times more dark matter than ordinary matter. Dr. Drlica-Wagner, an experimental particle cosmologist at Fermilab and an Associate Professor of Astronomy & Astrophysics at the University of Chicago, will present the evidence for the existence of dark matter and discuss how tiny galaxies can help us understand the dark side of the Universe.

The public is welcome to attend, free of charge.
