SUMMARY:To Boldly Go… Well\, You Know: NASA’s Dawn Mission to the Main Asteroid Belt with Dr. Marc Rayman
DESCRIPTION:Worlds Revealed Speaker Series\nTo Boldly Go… Well\, You Know: NASA’s Dawn Mission to the Main Asteroid Belt with Dr. Marc Rayman\n\nJoin NASA’s Dr. Marc Rayman for an inside look at one of the most ambitious missions in the history of space exploration: the Dawn spacecraft. Dawn made history as the first mission to orbit two extraterrestrial destinations\, visiting Vesta (2011–2012) and Ceres (2015–2018)—the two largest bodies in the main asteroid belt. \nDiscover how Dawn revealed these uncharted worlds\, why Ceres is classified as a dwarf planet alongside Pluto\, and how cutting-edge ion propulsion technology—once the stuff of science fiction—made this groundbreaking journey possible. Dr. Marc Rayman\, who was the mission director and chief engineer (as well as a lifelong space enthusiast)\, will describe the mission and its unique use of ion propulsion as well as its two exotic destinations. He will also share the excitement and profundity of controlling a spacecraft in deep space. \nDon’t miss this fascinating talk about a mission that reshaped our understanding of the solar system. \n\n  \n\n\n*This talk is included with general admission*

Saturn at opposition. \n What does it mean for Saturn to be at opposition? \nSaturn is at opposition when it lies opposite from the Sun in the sky. When at opposition\, Saturn is also at perigee – its closest point to Earth.  This makes it appear its biggest and brightest\, giving incredible potential for viewing. \nKeep an eye on your emails\, RSVP invitations will be going out soon! \nBecome a Member

SUMMARY:How to Build a Planet When You Have Two Suns | Dr. Taylor Kutra
DESCRIPTION:Worlds Revealed Speaker Series\n \nHow to Build a Planet When You Have Two Suns with Dr. Taylor Kutra \nPlanet formation is already a messy\, complex process—and that’s in the “simple” case of a single star. But most stars don’t form alone. The majority are born in multiple star systems\, meaning that if we want to understand how planets form across the Galaxy\, we need to figure out what happens when stars have companions. In this talk\, Dr. Taylor Kutra explores how the presence of a second star—especially in young\, close binary systems—complicates an already messy process. She’ll share insights from her recent work characterizing tiny\, evolving circumstellar and circumbinary disks. These systems may be small\, but they punch well above their weight in challenging our theories of how planets come to be.\n\n*This talk is included with general admission*
