New Astronomy telescopes completely change our understanding of the Cosmos! Astronomers and Physicists are scrambling to understand the meaning of these new discoveries.
With just two new Telescopes, our knowledge of the universe has changed forever! The night sky is no longer a static tapestry. The Vera Rubin Observatory and James Webb Space Telescope have produced a "time-lapse movie" of the Cosmos!
The quest for life in our Solar System. Is Mars our best hope for discovering evidence of life? What secrets do the Gas and Ice Giant planets hold? Maybe their moons hold the answers!
Exoplanets -- We've discovered over 6,000 planets orbiting other stars in the Milky Way! Some are quite Earth-like! Our 2 new telescopes are giving us exciting new information on these Earth-like worlds!
Urban Lighting -- Rapid growth of bright urban lighting conflicts the night sky and handicaps ground based telescopes. How can we resolve this issue?
Weather permitting, Donnie will set up his telescope after the presentations for views of the night sky.
