Mapping the Milky Way by Thomas Dame
Using small radio telescopes in the US and Chile, Thomas Dame’s team has made a series of great discoveries, including the identification of two previously unknown spiral arms in the Milky Way. In this lecture, Dr. Dame explains how radio telescopes reveal the invisible, why mapping the structure of our own galaxy is so difficult, and how the famous discoveries of this project were made.
