Webinar on Stellarium

What is Stellarium anyway? What can it do? How is it to use? What does it look like? Can it drive a telescope mount? Attend the webinar to find out.

This online dedicated webinar is meant to show what the Stellarium planetarium software can do. The computer application for Windows, Macintosh, and Linux is surprisingly rich and powerful. We'll briefly show some of the commonly-used features and then take questions, in a Q&A period afterwards.

Insider's Guide to the Galaxy: Astronomy at Other Wavelengths

Tuesday, October 12th, 3:30 to 5:00pm EDT

What would our night sky look like if we could see gamma rays? Many of the world’s telescopes scan the sky using wavelengths of light humans can’t see, like radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, and x-rays. Those alternate views of familiar objects reveal new physics and deepen our understanding of the universe. Join us to learn about some of the coolest space telescopes out there, including the new James Webb Space Telescope, and what they’re looking for!
