Abstract:
This presentation delves into the effects of our motion through the Universe on our observations. I will discuss the significance of this phenomenon and its relevance in cosmology, including a detailed examination of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data and insights from source count studies, notably involving quasars. I will conclude by examining the broader implications of our cosmic motion.
Event Location:
