*** No planetarium show, so meeting starts at 7 PM ***

Monthly SBAU meeting in Fleischmann Auditorium at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. We generally meet on the first Friday of each month, with a short planetarium show at 7 PM followed by our meeting at 7:30 PM.

Our speaker will be Dr. Nikolaus Volgenau of Las Cumbres Observatory, on how simple molecules, including alcohol, form inside dark interstellar clouds, and how astronomers detect them.

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