On Sunday, September 8th
at 2:00 Kevin Manning will provide a great program titled Astronomy for
Everyone. During the program he will
transport us into a fascinating world beyond our own as he guides his audience
on an entertaining and educational exploration of the universe. The program will have something for all
ages. Following his presentation we will
go outside to view sunspots using the same telescope NASA uses.
Kevin is a
retired astrophysicist, having worked as a consultant with NASA, the Chandra
X-Ray Observatory launched on the space shuttle with the Harvard-Smithsonian
Center for Astrophysics, and other ground-based observatories. Kevin won
national and international awards in his field, and did some work with
Brookhaven National Laboratory. Besides the numerous workshops he's presented
over the years at libraries, observatories, and science centers, some
noteworthy ones include those made at Tufts University, State University of New
York at Stony Brook, the NSTA National Convention, AAAS Breakfast with
Scientists, and the National Parks Service.
