Theodore von Kármán Lecture

Series: Theodore von Kármán Lecture Series

The Warm Glow of our Cool Universe

Dida Markovic, Research Scientist, NASA/JPL,

Dr. Phil Korngut, Research Scientist; SPHEREx instrument scientist, Caltech,

This lecture will be presented online only.

In order to explore the mysteries of our universe, we need to look at it in different ways. Astrophysics missions like SPHEREx and Euclid will use infrared astronomy to deepen our knowledge of unseen phenomena, such as inflation and dark matter.

Join us as we explore how infrared observations are changing our understanding of the cosmos and its origins.

About the Series

The Theodore von Kármán Lecture Series, named after JPL's founder, and presented by JPL's Office of Communication and Education, brings the excitement of the space program's missions, instruments and other technologies to both JPL employees and the local community. Lectures normally take place twice per month, on consecutive Thursdays and Fridays. The Thursday lectures take place in JPL's Theodore von Kármán Auditorium and are streamed live via YouTube and Ustream, and Friday lectures take place at Caltech. Both start at 7:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Admission and parking are free for all lectures. No reservations are required, but seating is limited. Caltech manages JPL for NASA.
