SUMMARY:Indigenous Arabian Astronomy and Dark Skies | Science Talk with Dr. Danielle Adams
DESCRIPTION:Does your favorite star have an Arabic name? Join cultural astronomer Dr. Danielle Adams as she showcases the importance of dark skies to the development of the rich cultural traditions of indigenous Arabian astronomy. Drawing from 6th–10th century CE Arabic texts\, she will demonstrate how dark desert skies enabled faint stars near the limits of naked-eye visibility to take prominent roles in the formation of indigenous Arabian star groupings and the stories that gave brighter stars their names.

SUMMARY:Flashes in the Night | Science Talk with Jeremy Perez
DESCRIPTION:Join photographer and amateur astronomer Jeremy Perez for a special science talk at Lowell Observatory! From tempestuous weather to space weather\, storm chasing and space event chasing can expand our opportunities under dark skies. This photographic tour will explore beautiful night skies and the weather and other events that mingle with them.

SUMMARY:The Accelerating Expanding Universe: Dark Matter\, Dark Energy\, and Einstein’s Cosmological Constant
DESCRIPTION:Dark energy is the leading candidate for the mechanism that is responsible for causing the cosmological expansion to accelerate. Bharat Ratra will describe the astronomical data which persuade cosmologists that (as yet undetected) dark energy and dark matter are by far the main components of the energy budget of the universe at the present time. He will review how these observations have led to the development of a quantitative “standard” model of cosmology that describes the evolution of the universe from an early epoch of inflation to the complex hierarchy of structure seen today. In this non-technical talk\, he will also discuss the basic physics\, and the history of ideas\, on which this model is based.
