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: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.

SUMMARY:Flagstaff Festival of Science | A River Cutting through Time and the Strata Bounding the 66 Million-Year-Old Impact Event that Extinguished Dinosaurs (Admission Not Required/Free To Public)
DESCRIPTION:Many Colorado River runners find themselves drawn to the geology cut by the river. It is easy to become fascinated by the different strata\, their colors\, and how they shape the canyon walls that bound the river. But the geology of the river is more than a rock record. It is a biological treatise of the world. As one floats by exposed strata\, one is provided a fascinating glimpse of how life emerged and evolved across our planet. While we often tell riverside tales of the plants and animals fossilized in the rock\, we often overlook those dramatic moments when the rock record is punctuated by mass extinctions. \nThis evening\, the locations of those events along the river will be briefly described before we focus on the calamitous cause of one of those mass extinctions: the Chicxulub impact cratering event that generated a global environmental calamity and extinguished most life on Earth 66 million years ago. Hear one of the discoverers of the Chicxulub crater describe how that impact event caused wildfires\, acid rain\, and a warmer climate in the region now drained by the Colorado River. Presented by Dr. David Kring\, who has been studying and teaching Arizona geology for 30 years.\n \nLocation: Lowell Observatory\, at the Giclas Lecture Hall in the Steele Visitor Center\, 1400 W Mars Hill Rd.

SUMMARY:Flagstaff Festival of Science | Going With the Flow: The Wayward Course of the Colorado River Through Time
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, September 6\, 2022\n7:00 PM  8:00 PM\n\nThrough the last 70 million years the Colorado River has evolved\, changed its flow direction\, and added tributaries. And our geologic understanding of the rivers history is also changing. Ancestors to the modern river system could only have come into being after the withdrawal of the Western Interior Seaway\, about 70 million years ago. At this time\, the ancestors flowed northeast. Geologists “lose sight” of the river by about 33 million years ago and it does not reappear until about 5 million years ago\, when it is making its way to the Gulf of California. Join geologist Wayne Ranney for a fascinating look of how the Colorado River evolved.\nLocation: Lowell Observatory\, at the Giclas Lecture Hall in the Steele Visitor Center\, 1400 W Mars Hill Rd.

SUMMARY:Lowell42 | Examining a Genius: The Triumph and Tragedy of Robert Burnham\, Jr.
DESCRIPTION:Lowell42 | Examining a Genius: The Triumph and Tragedy of Robert Burnham\, Jr. \nRobert Burnham\, Jr. compiled one of the most popular astronomy books ever—the three-volume observing bible\, Burnham’s Celestial Handbook—while working at Lowell Observatory in the mid-20th century. Yet Burnham was enigmatic and tragic in many ways.\n\nLowell Observatory Historian Kevin Schindler will host a panel discussion that explores Burnham\, what drove him\, and the personality of a genius.\n\nFlagstaff Mayor Paul Deasy will also be there to issue an official proclamation designating August 13 as Robert Burnham Jr. Day!\n\nPanelists include:\n\nJournalist Tony Ortega\, who in 1998 wrote the defining account of Burnham’s life\nDonna Courtney\, Burnham’s niece and only surviving relative\nDr. William Sheehan\, astronomy historian and retired psychiatrist\nBrian Skiff\, renowned sky expert who has worked for nearly 40 years at Lowell Observatory\n\nIf you can’t make it in person\, tune in on our YouTube channel!\nhttps://youtu.be/9TW4DntK0Ks

SUMMARY:Documentary Screening (and Q&A after) by Filmmaker George Sibley
DESCRIPTION:William Herschel and the Universe – A Documentary Film by George Sibley\nWilliam Herschel\, a 42 year old musician and amateur astronomer\, discovered the first “new” planet in history in 1781. His telescopes\, observations and theories transformed what was the clockwork universe imagined by Isaac Newton into the evolutionary and wonder-filled cosmos we know today. This is the story of how modern astronomy took shape under the pre-industrial skies of the 18th century. \nJoin us on June 24\, 2022 for an exclusive chance to view this film with the filmmaker himself! George will be taking questions after the film\, so don’t miss out. \nFree with purchase of a general admission ticket. \n\nWatch the trailer below!\n\nhttps://lowell.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Herschel-Trailer.mp4
