The University of Aruba is proud to host the inauguration and lecture of Space and Nature Aruba Foundation.
Lecture: Spectacular images of the cosmos have enabled humans to understand the Universe we live in. This talk will take us through the high points of astronomical imaging, from the invention of photography, the perfection of multi-color ground-based imaging with large telescopes, to the construction of the Hubble Space Telescope. I will conclude by showing glimpses of the future when three huge ground-based telescopes now under construction will use a new technique called adaptive optics to obtain images that are 10 times sharper than Hubble and see stars that are 100 times fainter.
Speaker: Dr. Sandra Moore Faber is University Professor Emerita at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and a staff member of the UCO/ Lick Observatory. She is an observational astronomer with research interests in cosmology and galaxy formation. Some of her major discoveries include the first structural scaling law for galaxies (called the Faber-Jackson law), large-scale flow perturbations in the expansion of the Universe caused by superclusters of galaxies, and black holes at the centers of galaxies.
