Special Guest Lecture:
The Dynamic Universe
& How We Observe It
Dr. Charles Liu
Charles Liu is an extragalactic observational astronomer. His talk will focus on the recent fading of Betelgeuse and the changes we see in other celestial objects like stars, quasars, supernovae, and black hole collisions.
We have a spectacular buffet dinner planned, a great cocktail hour, all topped off with coffee/dessert and Dr. Liu's talk. And as usual, we have some fantastic Tele Vue door prizes!
