It's an embarrassing fact that only relatively recently, we discovered that 95% of the universe is missing. Dark Energy makes up about 70% of the universe, but here we are concerned with Dark Matter which makes up about 27% of the universe. Put another way there is about 5 times as much dark matter as there is regular matter. Unfortunately we can't see it, although we are searching for it. So here we look at why we think it exists and what it might be? Featuring a chocolate pie!

Featuring Michael Merrifield, Amanda Bauer and Chris Conselise.
Classifying stars - it's the first step we need to start our understanding of stars. Why do we give the star types such weird letters to classify them? Spectroscopic sequence helped analyse the different types in the late 1800's. Featuring the Harvard "computer", Annie Jump Cannon, one of the first woman astronomers, and who came up with the basic classification we use today after simplifying previous classifications.

Tycho on Objectivity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5LA2IvR7iI
Tycho Brahe was the last of the great night sky observers. Using only his eyes and a very precise measuring device, he pushed the art of visible observation without any telescope to its limits. He was clearly an eccentric character who owned a moose, had a notable lack of nose, and came to his end probably due to a lack of toilet access. These are only some of the idiosyncrasies of his life!
