*Event Type*: [[PublicLectures][Lecture and Stargazing]]<br>
*Title*: Understanding the Formation and Evolution of Galaxies<br>
*Lecturer*: Cameron Hummels<br>
*Position*: Prize Postdoctoral Fellow<br>
*Institution*:  Caltech<br>
*Abstract*: <br>
Galaxies, like our own Milky Way, are among the basic building blocks in our universe.  Discovered only one hundred years ago, galaxies are complex systems consisting of billions of stars, along with gas and dark matter.  They occupy much of what we see when we point our telescopes up in the night sky.  I will discuss what scientists have learned about galaxies both from telescope observations as well as sophisticated computer simulations to better understand how galaxies form and evolve since the birth of our universe.
