Astronomers can state the mass of the Earth, the planets and moons, the Sun and stars, giant black holes, galaxies, and even the whole universe. How do we know that? How do we weigh a planet, star, black hole, galaxy, or even the universe? And what about the mysterious dark matter and dark energy? Come find out!

This is our 17th Astro-Chat with our distinguished guest Professor Don Kurtz. The session will include a brief illustrated introduction followed by questions and answers. Members of the public will be able to ask questions in the live-chat. The event is hosted by Professor Andrei Zvelindovsky, Head of the School of Maths & Physics at the University of Lincoln, UK.
