The Adirondack Sky Center & Observatory continues the free Live Virtual Lectures on Thursday April 6th at 7:00 p.m. with "Summer Skies & More from the James Webb Space Telescope" presented by Dr. Aileen O'Donoghue.
Dr. Aileen O'Donoghue will describe the stars and constellations of the skies from April to September, giving pointers on how to find them. Among and beyond the summer stars are nebulae, exoplanets and galaxies recently imaged by the James Webb Space Telescope and enriching our understanding of the cosmos. She’ll also describe the planets with Venus high in the evening sky through July, Mercury making two evening and one morning apparitions, Mars moving toward the evening horizon through the summer and fall, and Saturn and Jupiter making their ways back into the evening skies for fall.
Dr. Aileen O'Donoghue is the Henry Priest Professor of Physics at St. Lawrence University, and a member of the Adirondack Sky Center & Observatory board of directors.
