Black Holes: What’s Left When the Very Largest Stars Die – (Plus: Saving the Earth from Asteroids!)
What is a black hole? And who first proposed such a strange concept—an object that distorts both time and space in seemingly crazy ways? How big are black holes, and how massive? How can such strange things form? Are black holes truly black, or can we see them? Where would we look? How could one be detected? Perhaps most important—have we detected any? And just for fun: what would happen if we fell into one? Plus—have you heard that NASA is trying to move an asteroid around? And are you ready for the planets, constellations, and meteors that October has to offer? Join us by Zoom to learn more!

Deep-Sky Objects: Marvels Of The Night
Did you know that there are many objects you can see in the night sky that are neither stars nor planets? Were you aware that many clusters or clouds of glowing deep-space gas can be seen with your unaided eye, and dozens more are visible with simple binoculars? Have you heard that some deep-sky objects are so large and bright that we can see them even though they are thousands of light-years away, up to halfway across the galaxy? And that there are even other galaxies that we can see with our unaided eye? And what are the planets and constellations doing in our skies in October? Join us by Zoom to learn more!
