Join world-renowned astronomers for an end-of-summer picnic on Mt. Hamilton! Event begins with outdoor catered BBQ (with vegetarian options) and live 1970s music from Silicon Valley's Dr. West. Mingle, chat, and ask your cosmic questions of UC astronomy professors Alex Filippenko (http://astro.berkeley.edu/people/faculty/filippenko.html), Geoff Marcy (http://astro.berkeley.edu/%7Egmarcy/), and Sandra Faber (http://www.ucolick.org/%7Efaber/).

UC professor emeritus Timothy Ferris (http://www.timothyferris.com/), author of a dozen books and producer of three PBS documentary films will also be joining us to chat and answer questions. Come and hobnob with the "best popular science writer in the English language!"

Later we'll move indoors to enjoy the classical guitar duo Equilibrium (watch video here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWiC-bkUgdc)), followed by talks by Ferris, Filippenko, Marcy, and Faber about the universe. Finally, view the night sky through the Great Lick Refractor and Nickel reflecting telescope.
