Magnetic Fields: Invisible Threads of the Universe

Speaker: Catherine Whiting

 Magnetic Fields are everywhere - from the particles that make up matter, the magnet on your fridge, to the vast structures that thread through galaxies. Though invisible, these fields influence everything from auroras in our skies to the formation of stars, galaxy structures and evolution. This presentation will explore the basic physics of magnetic
fields – what they are, how they are generated, and how astronomers use light to detect
their unseen presence in the universe. We’ll take a tour of magnetic fields on all scales,
from planets to stars, their remnants, and the universe itself.
