Meet An Astronomer

This Saturday, come up to Mars Hill and meet Shih-Yun Tang! He is a PhD student studying NIR and optical spectra to search for the youngest exoplanets around T Tauri stars. He is also working with Professor Tyler Robinson at NAU to model ultracool objects’ atmosphere using the 1D radiative-convective model.

Take a peek at real-time images of planets, stars, galaxies and other celestial objects to be displayed on a large television screen outdoors with our new MallinCam. This is your opportunity to see interesting objects in the night sky, learn about an astronomer’s research, and ask questions you might have about any topic in astronomy. This event takes place every Saturday at 7pm and is included with an all-day general admission ticket.
