How can astrophysicists make predictions about parts of the universe they’ve never observed? It’s because the same laws of physics we experience here on Earth apply to the tiniest and most enormous things in space too—from cosmic grains of dust to supermassive black holes.
Join astrophysicist and Museum Curator Mordecai-Mark Mac Lowon an exploration through the size scales of the universe. Learn how the same techniques used to model terrestrial weather are used to predict star formation, and how computer gamers have helped along the way.
