President’s Message – September 2025
Happy September RASC members, and welcome back from what I hope was a wonderful summer of clear skies and observing! While our individual pursuits may be important, many of the most important annual milestones for our society have taken place
Presentation: How Friction Creates a Galaxy’s Spirals – David Payne
Date/Time: Wednesday September 10, 2025 starting at 7:30PM Location: University of Victoria, Bob Wright Centre, Lecture Theatre A104. The recent discoveries by JWST et al regarding the early, quick formation of galaxies are leading scientists to question the status quo mechanisms of galaxy creation. In this talk, a scientist-from-another-mother brings a multidisciplinary approach to this question that incorporates dissipative (friction) forces, thermodynamics. free body mechanics, and even chemistry to the non-linear dynamics involved.
