U of T Astronomy Public Tour - History if Comets
Graduate student KelleyLepo will be presenting about "History of Comets". Comets are rocky, icy visitors from the outer Solar System that develop spectacular tails when they near the Sun. Kelly will discuss how comets went from bad omens in the night sky to tools to learn about how planets orbit the Sun, to objects that teach us about how the Solar System formed. The hour-long talk will be on December 5th, starting at 8:10 PM, in MP 103, McLennan Physical Laboratories, 60 St. George St. As usual planetarium shows and telescope viewings will follow the talk.
