The=A0October meeting of the Halifax Centre of the RASC (Royal =20
Astronomical Society of Canada) will be held Friday,=A0October 17th at =20=

8:00 PM in Room 260 of the Sobey Building at Saint Mary's University =20
(PLEASE NOTE the new room location -- the Sobey Building is adjacent to =20=

the Loyola Building).

(A map can be found at the Centre's web site =96 the new location is in =20=

building #2; see below.)

Members of the public are welcome. Attendance is free. The meeting =20
agenda will include:

Computing the Cosmos: A Universe in a Computer

Modern supercomputers allow astronomers & astrophysicists to create =20
digital simulations of entire universes of unprecedented size and =20
accuracy. These virtual universes can also be tuned to obey a different =20=

set of Laws of Physics, allowing us to play the role of Creator and =20
examine what our Universe might have looked like under different =20
circumstances. Using digitally created movies and images from these =20
simulations, Dr Thacker will explore some of the spectacular progress =20=

that has resulted from these techniques, and examine what future =20
research can tell us.

Dr. Rob Thacker is an Associate Professor and Canada Research Chair at =20=

Saint Mary's University (formerly Queen's University, McMaster =20
University, and U.C. Berkeley). His work is focused on large scale =20
structure and galaxy formation and the use of simulations to aid our =20
understanding of the structure formation process.
