Think Like A Space Engineer All Week!

Join us online to learn basic astronomy that you can do on your own from your backyard! We'll be hosting introductory astronomy courses every other Tuesday at 3:30pm EDT. They'll give you the tools to learn astronomy on your own at home, along with some observing goals to try. All you need is your computer! A pair of binoculars will help, but are not necessary.

We have lots of cool-looking craters on our target lists today, so we'll be going over how to identify crater features.

We have our first day of finding lunar landing locations! Moon at Noon cohost John loves the Apollo missions, so you bet we'll be talking about Apollo 12 and 14.

Speaker: Emily Carney Skylab, which was crewed from 1973 to 1974, enjoyed only a brief moment in the cultural zeitgeist (and, of course, infamously reentered over parts of Western Australia).

We'll be taking a pause on targets today to talk about any observing problems you may be tackling.

Join us for an exciting live show at the intersection of art, culture, and science. Three incredible teams will present their creative work from the Ojibwe cultural lens, the D(L)akota cultural lens and the African American/South African cultural lens. The Ojibwe team will share knowledge about the Spring constellations like: Mishi Bizhiw (the Great Panther) and Madoodiswan (the Sweat Lodge). D(L)akota elders and knowledge holders will share teachings of Sunka Wakan Oyate (Horse Nation) and Cansasa (Red Willow). Students and their teachers from the third grade class at Dr.

For the first time in this series, we'll be looking for the Moon in the morning (or really late at night, if you're a night owl).

The Welsh Lectures in Physics have been held annually since 1975 in honour of H.L. Welsh, a distinguished former faculty member in the Physics Department. They are the major public event in the life of the Department of Physics and are intended to celebrate discoveries in physics and their wider impact. They are intended to be broadly accessible to an audience drawn from across the university, other academic institutions and the interested public.
