This event local astrophysicists, Dr. Zhaohuan Zhu and Shangjia Zhang will share with us how planets are born in protoplanetary disks. Come to see the disks of hot gas and dust astronomers have observed with huge telescopes and how structures within the disks tell stories of planet formation. No prior knowledge needed. Our AoT team consists of researchers from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. We research in a wide range of topics from planets to black holes.
