Arts, Culture & Fun: Dark Nights, Bright Lights

Journey to our nearest star! The search for inhabitable planets outside of our solar system gets more exciting each year as we find new prospects. Recently, scientists found a prospect around our nearest star. The close proximity is cause for great excitement. Could we send a probe there? How long would the journey take? And what would the probe find upon its arrival? Come find out in this talk by a former intern at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab at CALTECH, Jaclyn Avidon. The talk is followed by skygazing (weather permitting). Feel free to bring your own telescope or binoculars and set them up next to the experts!
