On the Shoulders of a Giant: Continuing Vera Rubin's Quest to Understand Dark Matter

On June 29, 2023, the Earth and Planets Laboratory will host a special Neighborhood Lecture honoring the late Carnegie Science astronomer Vera Rubin, the "Mother of Dark Matter." Guest speaker Rachael Beaton, an astronomer from the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), will discuss Rubin's groundbreaking observation confirming dark matter's existence, explore dark matter’s role in galaxy formation, and highlight future avenues of research. The event will be held at the Broad Branch Road Greenewalt Auditorium in Washington, DC. It will follow an earlier community ceremony to reveal an art installation in honor of Vera Rubin, celebrating Rubin's achievements and advocacy for women in STEM.
