SUMMARY:Astronomy on Tap: To Mars and Back?
DESCRIPTION:Astronomy on Tap: To Mars and Back?\nJoin us at Mother Road Brewing Co. on the 25th at 6:30pm for this month’s Astronomy on Tap! \nThis month’s speaker is USGS scientist Alicia Vaughan\, who will talk about her involvement in the Perseverance Rover mission. Alicia Vaughan is a Co-I on the Mastcam-Z instrument on the Perseverance rover\, and a member of the Mars 2020 Science Team. Her research focuses on using reflectance spectroscopy to investigate geologic materials. She started her Martian career at the Jet Propulsion Lab in CA working on the Spirit and Opportunity rovers\, which she considers her first children. After moving to Flagstaff\, she took a long detour into public education\, fulfilling a childhood dream of being a teacher. She returned to Mars along with the Mars 2020 mission and is thrilled to be back to her first love\, robotic exploration of Mars! \nWe’ll hold trivia after the talk\, where you’ll have the chance to win some fun prizes. As always\, there will be plenty of Mother Road brews on tap to enjoy! We’ll see you there!

SUMMARY:How Do We Find Earth 2.0?  | Dr. Tyler Richey-Yowell
DESCRIPTION:Worlds Revealed Speaker Series\n \nHow Do We Find Earth 2.0? \nAre we alone in the universe? The answer may be right around the corner! Dr. Tyler Richey-Yowell will guide you through the tools and techniques of exoplanet hunting\, what questions astronomers at Lowell and beyond are asking right now\, and what’s next in our quest to find other life out there. \nDr. Richey-Yowell joined Lowell Observatory in 2022 as a postdoctoral fellow\, focusing on the early evolution of low-mass stars—those smaller than our Sun—and their impact on orbiting planets. Using both ground- and space-based instruments in the UV\, optical\, and infrared\, she studies the complex atmospheres of stars and the potential for habitable exoplanets. With the 4.3-meter Lowell Discovery Telescope\, Dr. Richey-Yowell is unraveling the mysteries of stellar evolution to deepen our understanding of these fascinating systems. \n* Worlds Revealed Speaker Series included with general admission

SUMMARY:Weightless in Space:  Perspectives of Earth From A Suborbital Space Flight
DESCRIPTION:Weightless in Space: Perspectives of Earth From A Suborbital Space Flight\nOn October 6\, 2023\, Ron Rosano flew into space on Virgin Galactic’s Galactic04 mission\, fulfilling a childhood dream and gaining a unique perspective of our planet suspended in the black vastness of space. Join Ron for video and photo highlights from the space flight\, with descriptions of what it’s like to have a rocket fire you through the sky\, to float weightless in a spaceship\, and to see our Earth from high above the thin blue line of our atmosphere. There will be plenty of time for Q&A. \nAbout Ron Rosano \nRon Rosano flew into space on a suborbital flight with Virgin Galactic on October 6\, 2023\, and has pursued a passion of space travel and astronomy outreach with schools and with the public since 1995. \nIn awe of the starry sky since he was a child and inspired by the Apollo Moon landings\, Ron has closely followed NASA and other space missions for as long as he can remember. He has parlayed this passion into extensive astronomy education outreach as an informal educator for more than 30 years\, meeting in person and online with more than 240 schools in 20 countries. Ron is the creator and editor of the Suborbital Flight Journal\, a complete record of all human suborbital flights. \n

SUMMARY:Potatoes\, Peanuts\, and Diamonds: How Asteroids Get Their Shapes
DESCRIPTION:Potatoes\, Peanuts\, and Diamonds: How Asteroids Get Their Shapes\nAsteroids aren’t just space rocks—they come in some surprisingly familiar forms! From lumpy potatoes to spinning tops and peanut-shaped pairs\, these celestial oddballs showcase the wild variety of shapes that exist beyond Earth. In this talk\, discover what causes such diversity\, how scientists measure these strange forms\, and why so many of them happen to look like objects from your kitchen counter. You’ll never look at a peanut the same way again.\n\nAbout Nick\nDr. Nick Moskovitz is an astronomer at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff\, Arizona. His research is related to small bodies in the Solar System with active projects related to the origin and evolution of asteroids\, comets\, and meteors.

SUMMARY:Astronomy on Tap: Chaos Across the Solar System
DESCRIPTION:Astronomy on Tap: Chaos Across the Solar System\nJoin Lowell Observatory and Mother Road Brewing Co. on May 27th at 6:30pm for Astronomy on Tap! \nThis month’s speaker is Lowell researcher Dr. Teddy Kareta\, who will be talking about chaos from the evening weather forecast to the chance of an asteroid hitting the Earth a few decades from now\, the inherent unpredictability of complex systems — affects our lives in more ways than we can count. In this fun and accessible talk\, Dr. Teddy Kareta will build on the goofy outline of chaos that Jeff Goldblum’s character gives in Jurassic Park to explore all the ways that chaos plays out across the solar system — and what it says for the future of the Earth. \nWe’ll hold trivia after the talk\, where you”ll have the chance to win some fun prizes. As always\, there will be plenty of Mother Road brews on tap to enjoy! We’ll see you there!

SUMMARY:Webs and Flows | Dr. Mark Neyrinck
DESCRIPTION:Worlds Revealed Speaker Series\n \nWebs and Flows: The Cosmic Web’s Relation to River Networks\, Slime Molds\, and Other Flow Networks \nThe cosmic web is the universe-wide flow network that carries gas and dark matter into galaxies and clusters of galaxies. This network is unimaginably vast\, but bears a surprising resemblance to Earthly systems like the brain\, body\, plants\, and river networks.\n\nDr. Mark Neyrinck will discuss these relationships\, focusing on the river networks and their research using the concept of an “intergalactic rainstorm.”\nRead all about Dr. Mark Neyrinck here: skysrv.pha.jhu.edu/~neyrinck/\n\n*This talk is included with general admission*

SUMMARY:Astronomy on Tap: How to Build a Planet with Two Suns
DESCRIPTION:Astronomy on Tap: How to Build a Planet with Two Suns with Dr. Taylor Kutra \nPlanet formation is never simple—but what happens when you throw a second star into the mix? Join Lowell astronomer Dr. Taylor Kutra for a fascinating look at how planets form in the most common stellar environments: multiple star systems. While most planet formation theories are based on single stars\, the reality is that most stars are born with companions. Dr. Kutra will dive into her research on young\, tightly bound binary systems\, where evolving circumstellar and circumbinary disks create an even more chaotic stage for planet birth. These small systems may be hard to spot\, but they offer big clues—and big challenges—for our understanding of planetary origins.
