SUMMARY:Astronomy on Tap Flagstaff | Magnetic Fields on Other Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Join Lowell Observatory and Mother Road Brewing Co. on August 27th at 6:30pm for Astronomy on Tap! Listen to fascinating science talks\, play trivia to win out-of-this-world prizes\, and of course\, enjoy Mother Road brews on tap. \nThis month’s speaker is Lowell astronomer Dr. Melodie Kao\, who will talk about the magnetic fields of exoplanets! In 1958\, James Van Allen discovered zones of extreme radiation surrounding Earth. We now know that these invisible bubbles of high energy radiation cocooning Earth\, Jupiter\, Saturn\, Uranus\, Neptune\, and even tiny Ganymede are some of the most hazardous environments in the Solar System for both crewed and uncrewed space missions. Ten years later\, the Apollo 8 astronauts made the first human journey beyond the Van Allen Belts to orbit the moon. On the fifty-fifth anniversary of their discovery in 2023\, a team led by Lowell’s newest astronomer Dr. Melodie Kao found and imaged the first example of radiation belts outside of the Solar System. Come spend an evening exploring what they can tell us about the magnetic fields of exoplanets and the presence of volcanoes on worlds outside of our Solar System. We’ll see you there! \nLearn More

SUMMARY:Sun and Climate with Dr. Christoph Keller
DESCRIPTION:  \nDr. Christoph Keller\, Director of Science at Lowell Observatory\, will be speaking on the subject of the Sun and Climate at the Jim and Linda Lee Planetarium\, Prescott\, AZ. \nThe Sun enables life on Earth. If the luminosity of the Sun changes\, then the Earth’s climate changes. Dark spots on the Sun have been known for thousands of years. Do sunspots reduce the Sun’s luminosity and lower the Earth’s temperature? Amazingly\, the sun’s luminosity increases when it has a particularly large number of sunspots. This talk explains the cause of this surprising fact and shows how the sunspot cycle can be traced back thousands of years and how it affects the Earth in various ways. \nPurchase your tickets here.
