What’s the (dark) Matter with our Universe? Rubin Observatory is on the Case!

Discovering millions of galaxies and unraveling the mysteries of dark matter and dark energy is far out! Join us at the Dutch Goose for SLAC on Tap on August 22 at 5 pm, when SLAC engineer Hannah Pollek will talk about the LSST Camera and how it will help the Vera C. Rubin Observatory catalog the cosmos, creating a decade-long 3D-movie of space. Have a drink, learn about what’s hop-pening in space, and stick around after the talk for some trivia, giveaways and a hands-on activity. It will be out of this world.
