\"Michael<\/a>Michael Shull, professor, Department of Astrophysics and Planetary Sciences, CU-Boulder, will discuss “The First Galaxies in the Universe” at the Sept. 13 Cafe Scientifique.<\/p>\n

The latest session of the informal lecture series will be from 6:30-8 p.m. at Clyde’s in the University Center.<\/p>\n

“Cafe Scientifique is a place where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can come to explore the latest ideas in science and technology. Meetings take place in cafes, bars, restaurants and even theatres, but always outside a traditional academic context,” states the Cafe Scientifique credo.<\/p>\n

In past years the lack of a consistent venue was problematic. But the advent of Clyde’s offered a familiar place to hold the bi-monthly program catering to the scientifically curious.<\/p>\n

“The distant galaxies we observe in the universe are all moving apart, along with the fabric of space itself, said Shull. “Distance from the sun is measured by redshift; as objects retreat from us, the wavelengths of light they emit are stretched in the way that sound waves are lowered in pitch as a train moves away.”<\/p>\n

New cameras on the Hubble Space Telescope, and other telescopes, have revealed the most distant objects ever seen with light emitted approximately 13 billion years ago. This talk will discuss new data from the edge of the universe and what it means for the first stars and first galaxies..<\/p>\n

Cafe Scientifique endeavors to present the foremost experts in cutting edge science and technology. As well as being professor of astrophysics, Shull is an affiliate faculty member of the CU-Boulder Department of Applied Mathematics.<\/p>\n

The UCCS Department of Public Safety is providing free parking for the event from 5:30-9 p.m. in any regular parking space in parking lots 3 and 4 located south of Centennial Hall and the University Center. Parking is at no cost but all other restrictions, including handicapped parking, loading zones, and fire lanes apply.<\/p>\n

Funding for Caf\u00e9 Scientifique is provided by UCCS Auxiliary Services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
