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
