Dr. Josh Colwell, who last year gave a fascinating and beautiful presentation on Saturn’s rings, returns to Cafe Sci to discuss research on the early stages of planet formation with a particular emphasis on a new capability for microgravity experiments, enabled by the new generation of tourist-carrying suborbital spaceships such as Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo.
Dr. Colwell is Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics’ Planetary Sciences Group at UCF.
