Event

Club meeting at the Science Museum Oklahoma is held every second Friday of the month with astronomy related program.  Free to the public and all are welcome.

Our June program will be a presentation by Shelly Finley, Deputy Project Manager for the Geostationary Carbon Cycle Observatory (GeoCarb) titled, "Science Around the Globe. From the South Pole to Oklahoma." GeoCarb is a NASA contract awarded to the University of Oklahoma to produce a Littrow Spectrometer to measure the Carbon cycle over the Americas. Geocarb is a complete mission; design and construct the instrument while procuring space on a commercial satellite to place the instrument in geostationary orbit over the Americas. Prior to GeoCarb, Shelly was the Science and Technical Projects Supervisor at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica where she worked with National Science Foundation funded science that focused on the cosmic microwave background, space weather, and climate science as well as the Event Horizon Telescope, the instrument that produced the first ever image around a black hole.
