Dean Lecture - From Galileo to the Present: 400 Years of Solar Physics

Dr. Alan Title

Stanford University & Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center

When: March 10, 2010 - 7:30 pm

In 1609 Galileo discovered Sunspots and measured the rotation of the Sun.  These observations started a revolution in our understanding of our solar system and the Universe as a whole.  Obserations, computer animations, and numerical simulations provide important tools in understanding our star, the Sun. Dr. Title will review four centuries of critical scientific discoveries and even take a short peak into the future.
