Our guest speaker for this meeting will be Alanna Mitchell. Alanna is the author of The Spinning Magnet, her most recent book, all about the Earth’s magnetic field. Part history, part science, it explores all we know about one of the most important and least understood parts of our planet. From our discoveries about the connection between magnetism and electricity to the possibility that we are about to undergo a pole reversal, Alanna brings a spirited talk about this fascinating subject off the page onto our stage.

The Hubble Space Telescope was launched 29 years ago in 1990. After overcoming problems caused by a defective main mirror, Hubble has made discoveries that have revolutionized our view of the universe we live in. This talk will cover the history of HST based on a history book the speaker is writing for NASA.
