Abstract
Everyone knows space is big – but where and how do we and the planet we live on fit into our own Galaxy, the Milky Way? Then what lies beyond the Milky Way? This talk will introduce you to the scale, structure and geography of our Universe. Come along and get a new sense of perspective!
An informal introduction will be provided by Dr Carolin Crawford (Institute of Astronomy) will be followed by a discussion and refreshments.
