AstroNights LIVE: A Star's Life

Wednesday, June 16, 7:30pm 

Recording will also be available on our Youtube Channel after the event.

Program Description:

The stars, aside from daily and annual motions, do not appear to change much on the scale of a human lifetime. But in fact, they are born, live, and die on timescales far vaster than we can experience. This month, look up and see stars at every stage of life.

Program will be approximately 30 minutes + Q&A
