Bob’s segment of this class is a lighthearted introduction to astronomy as a hobby. We will cover topics such as size, what stars, planets, moons, meteors, and galaxies are made of, and where they fit into the Summer sky. We will talk about distances in space, how fast, and the search for life beyond earth. Bring your questions for us to answer.

 Angelo’s presentation will cover the latest discoveries in astronomy over the past 25 years. Included will be new discoveries in our own solar system as well as planets around other stars. The uplifting discovery of the building blocks of life elsewhere in the universe will also be covered.

Bob Berta and Angelo DeDonato
