    deal with Earth-bound topics and ideas.
    Astronomy expands your horizons by
    dealing with the rest of the universe. In
    this general talk, I will take you on a
    journey from the Solar System to the Big
    Bang, describing how astronomers use the
    biggest telescopes in the world to map the
    structure of the universe. Along the way,
    we'll explore the properties of the Milky
    Way galaxy and learn about black holes,
    supernovae, and the origin of the chemical
    Michael Strauss is currently Associate Chair of the Department of
    Astrophysics at Princeton. His interests include all aspects of extragalactic
    astronomy and observational cosmology, especially of massive digital
    surveys to study the large-scale distribution of galaxies to constrain
    cosmological parameters, the relationship between galaxy properties and
    their environment, and the nature and evolution of active galactic nuclei and
    quasars at large redshifts. He is involved in planning for the next generation
    of large surveys, including the Prime Focus Spectrograph on Subaru and the
    Large Synoptic Survey Telescope. He is recently co-author with Neil de
    Grasse Tyson and Richard Gott of the bestselling book Welcome to the
    Universe, which was based on their popular astronomy course at Princeton.
