The Boogeyman of Astronomy
The next Observatory Open House will be held on Saturday September 14th at 7:30pm in Ellis Hall Auditorium at Queen’s University.
This month we are very excited to feature Brandon Shane, who is a graduate student at Queen’s University. He will present ”The Boogeyman of Astronomy” which will discuss magnetic fields and how they pop-up in unexpected ways in astronomy and other space sciences.
The presentation will be followed by a tour of the McDonald Institute and the Queen’s Observatory where visitors will have the chance to view nearby and deep-sky celestial objects with our telescopes (weather permitting).
We hope to see you there!
The Open House presentations are hybrid events that can also be joined virtually over zoom: https://queensu.zoom.us/j/92254657437?pwd=WqwYIrvgWxx9ezNhOABF9quNWFdjao.1.
