Astro 101: From the Big Bang to Biosignatures -- ON LINE
Details
This event is one of several different introductions to astronomy offered by SJAA. During this hour, you'll take a tour through our universe's 13.8 billion years of evolution, touch on some of the highlights of discovery that led to our understanding of that long history, and get a glimpse of what's ahead.
We'll take the first 15 minutes to give a short tour of the night sky using the planetarium software Stellarium. The talk will start at 7:15.
Your presenters are Mahika Khosla and Jaya Bhattacharyya, the founders of Astro Revolution (https://sites.google.com/view/astrorevolution/home), a high school student-run organization that brings astronomy to kids of the community. During this hour, they'll share some astronomy with you!
