A series of public lectures named in honour of Sir Bernard Lovell, the Founder and first Director of Jodrell Bank Observatory.
Jodrell Bank is proud to be relaunching the Lovell Lecture series in our Wolfson Auditorium this Autumn/Winter. We will be hosting three consecutive evening lectures and are delighted to welcome leading astrophysicists to Jodrell Bank.
LECTURE 3: Origins: The Big Bang to Intelligent Life and Everything in Between
I will describe the history of the universe from the big-bang until today. A large part of this includes the evolution and formation of galaxies and how these reveal the universe’s properties and history. I will also present new Images from the James Webb Space Telescope and explain what this amazing instrument is starting to tell us about the universe. Our understanding of cosmic evolution also gives us important information about the possible existence of intelligent life in our universe, and where we might find it.
