Live at the Westport Observatory Tonight – 2/17! We’re welcoming Columbia University astrophysicist Yue Yu to the WAS classroom for a deep dive into frontier physics and the big questions still haunting the universe. Dark matter, next-gen experiments, and the kind of science that keeps theorists up at night. 👉 https://was-ct.org/events/yue-yu/ #Astronomy #SpaceScience #WAS #WestportObservatory #WestportAstronomicalSociety #ScienceLecture #DarkMatter #Physics #Columbia #IAXO
