Clusters of Galaxies - Professor Carolin Crawford
Clusters of galaxies are the largest organised structures in the Universe that appear gravitationally bound, containing thousands of galaxies all confined to a volume of space only tens of millions of light years across. They are laboratories for extreme galaxy evolution, as many of the processes that can change the structure of galaxies are accelerated in such a crowded environment. http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/clusters-of-galaxiesCollected in GreshamCollege's videos Mar 14, 2012 -
Rotation in Space - Professor Carolin Crawford
Rotation is a fundamental physical process throughout the Universe. So much is spinning, from planets and stars revolving on their axes, to whole spiral galaxies rotating around their centre. http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/rotation-in-spaceCollected in GreshamCollege's videos Feb 6, 2012 -

To Infinity and Beyond - Professor Ian Morison
An overview of the development of cosmology over the last 100 years from the Big Bang models of the Universe to the astounding revelation of recent years in that we have no real understanding of 96% of its content! Or even that our Universe could just be one small part of a Multiverse that extends beyond our imagination! http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/to-infinity-and-beyondCollected in Astronomy Lectures by Professor Ian Morison May 11, 2011 -

Proving Einstein right! - Professor Ian Morison - Gresham College Lectures
A gentle introduction to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity discussing gravitational waves and the curvature of space and how, since 1915, experiments have been undertaken to test its accuracy. Recent observations by Jodrell Bank astronomers have shown that Einstein's theory must be at least 99.95% right!Collected in Astronomy Lectures by Professor Ian Morison Mar 16, 2011 -
The Book Of Universes - Professor John Barrow
A special event to mark the publication of Professor Barrow's new book, 'The Book of Universes', available from The Bodley Head publishers: http://www.rbooks.co.uk/product.aspx?id=1847920985 This is a book about universes, a story that revolves around a single unusual and unappreciated fact: that Einstein’s famous theory of relativity describe universes – entire universes.Collected in GreshamCollege's videos Mar 7, 2011 -

The Heart of the Matter - Frank Close
We take a voyage into matter and back to the start of time to see how the basic pieces were created, how they have been cooked in stars to make elements of life and how critical their separate identities have been to enable us to be here some 12 billion years after the Big Bang.
