Don Mills Library: Chronicles of a Peculiar Universe: The Social Habits of Galaxies

Most galaxies enjoy the company of other galaxies and organize into various shapes known as the "cosmic web." Many of them also like to spin - creating beautiful disks of stars and gas. PhD student George Conidis examines our own galaxy, The Milky Way, and its friends to better understand the social habits of disk galaxies and how they spin.

Chronicles of a Peculiar Universe is a series of talks presented in collaboration with York University's Faculty of Science.
