Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
We had another great presentation by Jim Shedlowski. His talk title was "How We Found the Universe", which was about the history of discovery and the famous astronomers involved with moving our understanding from our galaxy being the entire universe, to what we understand today. We had 24 people in the room and another 4 via Zoom.
