Astronomy Public Night and Public Talk

Highly recommended. Basically the last chances for the semester to see the cool telescope in action ...

-----

The Department of Physics and Astronomy will host a pair of public events this Friday, April 27, beginning at 8 p.m. Dr. Gene Byrd will give a public talk on the Milky Way's nature and outside galaxies, "Spiral Arms in Disk Galaxies: Beautiful Patterns and Dark Matter," at 8 p.m. in 227 Gallalee. Immediately following the talk, the observatory will be open for a close look at the moon and Saturn (weather permitting).

For more information, call the Department office at 348-5050 and ask for the faculty member in charge of the date in question. We also ask that you give us advance warning if you are bringing a large group, so we may plan accordingly. We keep an email listing to be notified as new observatory events are scheduled; email lmonroe@bama.ua.edu to be added to the list.
