St. Louis Astronomical Society Meeting - Astronomical Spin: Planets, Stars and Galaxies
Everything in the universe is in motion. Astronomical objects spin as well as move through space. Dr. Criss is currently working on theories connected with the spin of stars, planets, and galaxies. He will talk about their spins, and what the spin reveals of the physical and chemical nature of these objects.
Robert Criss is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Washington University. He is a stable isotope geochemist specializing in hydrogeology - the geology of water and systems of water. Much of his research involves environmental problems and applications. He is also interested in the motions of astronomical objects and in the nature of dark matter.
