Insider's Guide to the Galaxy: Lunar Geology

Tuesday, November 9th, 3:30 to 5:00pm EST

Get ready to learn about our closest neighbour and our night sky’s brightest, easiest to find object! Over the next week the Moon is doing some cool stuff, so we’re here to prep you for seeing the lunar X and V, and to preview the November lunar eclipse. We’ll also talk about why the Moon has dark and light spots, and how you can observe the same features that planetary scientists use to understand the moon’s geological history.

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!

We are all made of stardust but gold, silver and platinum are neutron stardust
