Feature Presentation
Interplay of Science Fiction and Astronomy
By Bob Trembley
Bob Trembley is a child of the Apollo era; astronomy and space science has been a part of his life ever since he could remember. Bob has also been a fan of science fiction since childhood. He will talk about how ancient sky watchers wondered if there were beings among the stars, to how modern scientists are looking for biosignatures in the atmospheres of exoplanets. There has been a lot of science fiction published in pulp, audio, film and games over the decades - some of them actually get astronomy, physics and space science right. He will discuss some of the gems, and some of the stinkers.
About the Speaker
Bob is the president of the Warren Astronomical Society, a volunteer NASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador, a podcast host and factotum for Vatican Observatory Foundation, and he's on the board of the Great Lakes Association of Astronomy Clubs which hosts the amazingly successful Astronomy at the Beach event.
