Action Potential Lab: Cosmos & Cocktails: Celestial Luminescence (SOLD OUT)
Robin Kingsburgh
Modern telescopes reveal the ethereal glow of distant celestial objects, invoking a sense of awe and wonder. Glowing nebulae around stars display magnificent structures and colours. Closer to home, within our own atmosphere, similar forms and colours are seen the dance of the aurora or northern lights. We will examine the physics behind the colour and light from distant nebulae around both young and dying stars, as well as the glorious colour of the aurorae, our nearest celestial lightshows.
Cosmos & Cocktails is Action Potential Lab's newest adult lecture series. Each event will match one astronomer with a mixologist, who has created a unique drink inspired by the lecture at hand. As a monthly event, you will be given access to hearing some of Toronto’s finest speakers on topics that run the gamut of the galaxy. Additionally, each session allows you to taste a one-of-a-kind beverage to sample in the lab and have the recipe to take home. Studies reveal that the effects of attending this event have proven to impress friends with your newfound knowledge and drink-making abilities. Part mind expanding lecture and part mixology lesson, this series is dedicated to enhancing your brain and your palate.
