DTEND:20160129T191500Z
UID:TALK63185@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr. Philippe Gilchrist
DESCRIPTION:This talk is about interstellar space - not truly a vacuum dev
 oid of matter\, but inhabited by vast thin clouds of gas and dust that app
 ear as glorious and complex structures. We showcase some of the most spect
 acular images of these ‘nebulae’\, including many taken with the Hubbl
 e and Spitzer space telescopes. We shall look at them with new eyes\, deco
 nstructing the pictures and learning how to ‘read’ what they tell us a
 bout the turbulent story of the birth and death of stars. Indeed\, reveali
 ng the science behind the beauty.
