SUMMARY:How We Recoat the LDT’s 14-foot Primary Mirror
DESCRIPTION:The massive primary mirror of the Lowell Discovery Telescope (LDT) measures 14 feet in diameter by 4 inches thick. Yet its critical reflective layer is only 100 nanometers thick—1\,000 times thinner than typical photocopy paper! This aluminum skin must be periodically replaced\, a painstaking process that takes weeks to complete. Tonight\, LDT Engineering Manager Frank Cornelius will join Lowell Historian Kevin Schindler to d

SUMMARY:Little Galaxy on the Celestial Prairie: Using the Lowell Discovery Telescope to Study Dwarf Galaxies
DESCRIPTION:While the Milky Way Galaxy contains several hundred billion stars\, dwarf galaxies have only 1\,000 to a few billion. To better understand these diminutive families of stars and how they form\, scientists use some of the world’s most powerful instruments. Tonight\, Dr. Deidre Hunter and Haylee Archer will join Lowell Historian Kevin Schindler to share how they’ve explored these tiny galaxies with the Lowell Discovery Telescope. This free program will be available to watch via a livestream feed on Lowell Observatory’s YouTube station.

SUMMARY:A Decade of Discovery | Searching For Planets Around Other Stars
DESCRIPTION:For millennia\, humans have asked the question\, “Are we alone?” One step in answering this question involves searching for and studying exoplanets—planets around stars other than our Sun. The Lowell Discovery Telescope (LDT) is ideal for such a study. One project\, for instance\, combines the power of the LDT with a Yale University-built instrument called EXPRES to detect earth-sized planets. Tonight\, our panel of experts—Dr. Joe Llama\, Dr. Catherine Clark\, and Dr. Debra Fischer—will join Lowell Historian Kevin Schindler to discuss how they use the LDT in their cutting-edge studies of exoplanets.

SUMMARY:Lowell 42: Imagining the Future of Space with Ed Finn
DESCRIPTION:The stars have never been closer: even elementary school students have sent satellites to orbit\, and the costs of launching are dropping dramatically. What happens when we see space as a canvas for human imagination? In this talk\, we will voyage to several space futures we dreamed up at ASU’s Center for Science and the Imagination and find out what they can teach us about the universe\, ourselves\, and life on Spaceship Earth. \nJoin in on this event in person in Lowell Observatory’s Giclas Lecture Hall for the price of general admission\, or watch it live from anywhere in the world on YouTube!

SUMMARY:I♥Pluto Festival 2022 | Lesson Learned from Observing Earth’s Cryosphere from Satellites
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few decades\, the quality and quantity of satellite observations of Earth have improved dramatically. Nowhere is this more true than in the polar regions. Over the past 20 years\, a fleet of satellites operated by many different countries have provided unprecedented insight into the changes underway in the Arctic and Antarctic. In this talk\, we will discuss some of the key observations and insights that inform our understanding of the response of the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets to climate change and our projections of future sea-level rise.

SUMMARY:I♥Pluto Festival 2022 | The Rivers and Seas of Titan
DESCRIPTION:Saturn’s moon Titan is the second known Solar system world with active rivers and seas. Titan’s deceptively Earth-like landscape is the product of a methane cycle akin to Earth’s water cycle\, but there are important differences between Earth and Titan that offer lessons about planetary climate. I will illustrate this through a tour of Titan’s landforms\, including methane rivers eroding mountains of ice\, the search for waves on Titan’s seas\, and the scarceness of river deltas.

SUMMARY:I♥Pluto Festival 2022 | Searching for Signs of Past Life on Mars
DESCRIPTION:On February 18th\, 2020\, the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover landed on the surface of Mars. One of the main goals of this mission is to search for evidence of past life on Mars. Jezero crater\, the landing site of the rover\, was selected as an exciting astrobiological target because it is the site of an ancient river delta and lake that may once have been habitable. To determine if Mars was once inhabited\, scientists will search for biosignatures\, traces of life that are preserved in the rock record. On Earth\, scientists study ancient biosignatures to understand what the ancient biosphere looked like and how it interacted with the planet. Dr. Moore’s research investigates ancient biosignatures from Earth with the goal of providing a framework that scientists may use to identify and interpret similar biosignatures in Jezero crater if they are present. Here\, Dr. Moore will describe the astrobiological goals of the mission\, what scientists know about Jezero crater and its potential past habitability\, and the instruments that they will use to search for ancient biosignatures. She will present new insights into biosignature preservation on the ancient Earth and what they can tell scientists about how the biosphere and geosphere interacted on the early Earth. She will show how scientists can use instruments onboard the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover to search for similar biosignatures in Jezero crater. If such biosignatures exist\, the data that scientists collect during the Mars 2020 mission will also help them to interpret how ancient microorganisms may have interacted with the Martian environment in the past.

SUMMARY:I♥Pluto Festival 2022 | History Captured on Glass: The Pluto Discovery Plates
DESCRIPTION:History Captured on Glass: The Pluto Discovery Plates with\, Brian Skiff\, Lauren Amundson\, Dr. Stephen Levine | Hosted by Dr. Amanda Bosh \nLowell Observatory has a treasure trove of astronomical images on glass photographic plates from the late 1800s to the mid 1900s. The most famous of these is the pair of plates on which Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930! Walk with us (virtually) through the archive\, view the discovery plates\, and think about what else might be hidden in these old records of the sky\, waiting to be discovered! A new program to scan these plates is underway\, making the data accessible to a new generation of scientists.

SUMMARY:I♥Pluto Festival 2022 | Astronomical Time-lapse Imaging: From seconds to Centuries
DESCRIPTION:Astronomical Time-lapse Imaging: From seconds to Centuries \nNothing in the universe is static. Whether the bodies are moving or evolving\, astronomical events play out in periods ranging from seconds to many centuries. This presentation clearly shows these changes\, with descriptions of what to look for and why it is of interest. Most of the images were taken with amateur equipment at various sites in Arizona. \nLearn More about the I Heart Pluto Festival here: https://iheartpluto.org/

SUMMARY:I♥Pluto Festival 2022 | Undaunted Exploration: An Astronomer’s Journey Through the Solar System
DESCRIPTION:Robotic spacecraft probing our solar system represent a capstone of human exploration. That capstone resides on a foundation built by astronomical observations revealing scientific questions answerable only by on site investigation. The path from astronomical observations\, defining science questions\, and achieving mission success is an arduous one. Join MIT Professor Richard Binzel on a personal and scientific tale of persistence\, persistence\, persistence in going from a backyard astronomer to science team member on four NASA solar system exploration missions. This Worlds Revealed Science Talk is proudly sponsored by Findlay Toyota.

SUMMARY:I♥Pluto Festival 2022 | Imagining Pluto Before the Flyby
DESCRIPTION:Space art has played an important and inspiring role in planetary exploration since the dawn of the space age and it was no different leading up to the New Horizons flyby of Pluto in 2015. Ever since its discovery in 1930 artists helped us imagine what this icy world might look like\, drawing from the best science at the time. How is that art done and how well did we do compared to the world we now know so well? Learn More about the I Heart Pluto Festival here: https://iheartpluto.org/
