The video will be broadcast on the YouTube channel ‘Urknall, Weltall und das Leben’ (Big Bang, Universe and Life) from 18 September 2025.
The next lecture in the Babelsberg Starry Nights virtual series by Dr Marcel Pawlowski will be online on Thursday at 8 p.m. Marcel Pawlowski is head of a Leibniz Junior Research Group at the AIP and has already given two lectures on satellite galaxies, cosmological simulations, dark matter and MOND, an alternative theory of gravity. One of the central topics of current research is how galaxies challenge the dark matter model. How can observations of the small dwarf galaxies orbiting our Milky Way provide clues about the mysterious and invisible dark matter? What alternative theories do exist? Because this exciting topic raised new questions, the scientist answered the first questions in a video in May. The current video presents the second part with even more questions and answers.
