*** NOTE TIME CHANGES ***

Monthly SBAU meeting in Farrand Auditorium at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.

From 6 PM to 6:30 PM there will be AU merchandise available, followed by a short planetarium show from 6:30 PM to 7 PM.

From 7 PM to 7:30 PM, there will be an AU club meeting, followed by our speaker.

Our speaker will be Dr. Phil Korngut, on the SPHEREx mission, the newest addition to NASA’s elite space telescope fleet. In its two-year baseline mission, it will survey the entire sky, producing a first-of-its-kind 3D spectroscopic map of the entire celestial sphere.

This will be a hybrid meeting, so you can attend via Zoom if you wish. Contact our webmaster for the Zoom link (or see the email sent to our current members).
