Sunday August 2, 2026 9:00pm - 10:30pm MDT
Let's look up at the night sky together and learn about the exciting state of astronomical research. Dr. Arika Egan, an astrophysicist who studies exoplanets (planets that orbit other stars in the Milky Way galaxy), will connect what you can see with your naked eye (as well as what you can't) to the questions astronomers are asking themselves day to day. You'll learn about stars, exoplanets, and galaxies, and how the more we study these faraway objects, the more we can learn about our very own Sun and solar system planets.
