Join us for another night in our Guiding Stars Virtual Mini Series! This series introduces you to inspiring role models in Astronomy, and you'll learn something new about the universe each night! On this night, we'll meet Dr. Melissa Diamond, a theoretical astroparticle physicist at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. Melissa studies dark matter-the invisible substance that makes up most of the universe! Her work includes primordial black holes and something called the "lampshade effect," (where dark matter clouds might dim starlight as they pass by). Come learn about Melissa's journey from UPenn to McGill, and find out: Could the universe actually be made of black holes?
Cost: $3 in council/$5 out of council fee for girls, includes mailed Central Fun Patch or rocker star.
We are thankful to the NA-ROAD's Women and Girls in Astronomy Program and the Heising-Simons Foundation for supporting this project.
