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 | The Moon\, Mars and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:This talk shares some interesting facts about interplanetary exploration\, including the latest robotic Mars missions\, humans living in space and on other planetary bodies\, and exciting prospects of the emerging commercial space age. Dive into what it takes to send a robotic explorer and its helicopter companion 300 million miles and land it on the red planet. Hear about our greatest obstacles to overcome in order to be a truly interplanetary species and relive the tense “7 minutes of terror” during entry\, descent\, and landing on Mars. Learn about the fascinating changes that your body undergoes in the absence of gravity and how NASA endeavors to return humankind to the Moon and on to Mars (and possibly Pluto?) and beyond.

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/

SUMMARY:AAS DPS Sagan Medal Talk 2021 | Dr. Adam Frank
DESCRIPTION:For The Love of Science: Following Carl Sagan’s Legacy In An Era of Science Denial \nWe live in a paradoxical time where science and technology dominate human culture\, while\, in certain domains\, scientific results have become so highly politicized that it threatens the health of the entire endeavor. In this dangerous historical moment\, 2021 Sagan Medal Winner Dr. Adam Frank discusses how researchers can bridge the cultural gaps of polarization by following Carl Sagan’s example to lead with Science’s great beauty and promise. \nThe Carl Sagan Medal (“Sagan Medal”) is awarded annually by the Division for Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society. It recognizes and honors outstanding communication by an active planetary scientist to the general public. It is to be awarded to scientists whose efforts have significantly contributed to a public understanding of\, and enthusiasm for\, planetary science.

SUMMARY:Perseids Meteor Shower | August 11 | Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Perseids Meteor Shower 2021 \nEvery year in early August\, the Earth passes through the debris left by Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle\, which creates the Perseid meteor shower. Join Lowell Observatory at 9pm AZ/PT on Wednesday\, August 11\, 2020\, for a live stream of the Perseid meteor shower\, hosted by research assistant Megan Gialluca. We’ll use the All-Sky Camera at the Lowell Discovery Telescope to hunt for meteors together. After that\, you’ll be ready to find more on your own\, when the meteor showers peak in the hours before dawn.
