To the Edge and Back - Exploring a Virtual Universe M. Josh Roberts Abstract: Data based virtual models can allow us to explore the Universe beyond the reach of all but our most powerful telescopes, join M. Josh Roberts on a quick tour of the Depth and Breadth of the Known Universe, followed by audience-led exploration. Bio: M. Josh Roberts found his connection to astronomy through some amazing mentors and a local amateur astronomy group. He went on to take courses from high school through grad school in astronomy, completing his bachelor's at San Francisco State University and his master's from Swinburne University. This passion has taken him from his hometown to the Big City, from California to New York, from Alaska to Chile and from coastal California to 47,000 ft into the air! Josh takes pride in calling himself an astronomy communicator and a facilitator of that human connection to what exists beyond Earth's atmosphere and can find no greater joy than sharing what he loves about astronomy (and its affiliated sciences) with those who have an interest in hearing it.
