Description
by Cornelia Lang, University of Iowa

The Center of our own Milky Way Galaxy is vastly different than the place where the Sun resides. The physical conditions are significantly more extreme in the Galactic center and detailed observations of our own nucleus provide us with a window into understanding other galaxies in the universe. Professor Cornelia Lang will describe her own multi-wavelength observations and research that works to uncover the astrophysics of this unusual environment.
