SUMMARY:Member Event | Saturn Soiree
DESCRIPTION:Member Event | Saturn Soiree\nOn September 20\, Lowell Observatory will be hosting a member-only private viewing through our Dyer telescope from 8:30PM-10PM.  The focus of this viewing? 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

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*

SUMMARY:SETI and the Search for Life Beyond Earth | Bill Diamond
DESCRIPTION:Worlds Revealed Speaker Series\n \nSETI and the Search for Life Beyond Earth with Bill Diamond \nAre we alone in the universe?  Is life as we know it a rare or even unique phenomenon or is life an emergent process that might be broadly spread across the cosmos?  These are big\, profound questions that for most of human history have been relegated to the domains of religion and philosophy.  But with the dawn of the space age and the advent of modern technologies\, these questions now sit squarely within the domain of science.  The SETI Institute is the World’s only research organization devoted solely to the search for life beyond Earth – to understand the nature and prevalence of life beyond our planet and to explore the profound implications the discovery of such life would have on humankind. \nSETI Institute President and CEO\, Bill Diamond will discuss the Search for Life and Intelligence Beyond Earth\, how it works\, where it stands and why it matters – to everyone.  Join us we explore the science and technology\, the fact and the fiction behind the search and the SETI Institute’s journey of ultimate discovery. \n\n*This talk is included with general admission*

SUMMARY:Astronomy on Tap: Silver and Starlight with Ben Shafransky
DESCRIPTION:Astronomy on Tap: Silver and Starlight with Ben Shafransky\nJoin Lowell Observatory and Mother Road Brewing Co. on November 25th 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 Ben Shafransky. Ben is a Lowell Discovery Telescope Operator at Lowell Observatory. Ben will be talking about the history of early Astrophotography. Early photographic scientists looked up shortly after the invention of the photograph. Experiments to capture the sky yielded varying results until the birth of astrophotography was realized in 1840. The techniques and tools used to do this improved vastly over the next century until the point where a faint dwarf planet could eventually be found. Join Ben on this journey of exploration of firsts\, from the very first photograph to the first images of Pluto. \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! Come early\, seats fill up fast!
