Description
Start Time: 7:00 PM
End Time: 8:00 PM

Come explore the wonders of our galactic neighborhood with Jim Kovac, Jet Propulsion Labs Solar System Ambassador. These images of galaxies, nebulas, and stars are made possible by the Hubble, Spitzer, and Chandra Space Telescopes. Within our galaxy, we’ll look at the remnants of stellar death as well as nurseries where new stars are forming. We’ll observe colliding galaxies and journey outward from our galaxy toward the center of the Virgo Cluster. We’ll also take a look at the first images that scientists believe show evidence of Dark Matter – through a combination of Hubble and Chandra data. R-120
