November Public Planetarium Program

"The Stargazer"

"The Stargazer
"
A talk on the current evening sky, followed by a multimedia audiovisual presentation.
 
This program is the story of Jim Kaler, an Astronomy Professor at the University of Illinois. It shows how he shares his love for the sky (which he had since childhood) with his students. Topics covered include Newton's law of gravity, light, regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, and the life cycles (birth, life, and death) of stars. It also describes the Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) diagram which graphs stars' temperatures vs. their luminosity (energy output). Regions of the diagram include the main sequence (stars that shine by hydrogen fusion), giant stars, supergiant stars, and white dwarfs.
 
Park in the Stadium Lot. The Stadium Lot (Commuter Lot 2 or C-2) is on the northeast corner of East Avenue and Pine Street. Commuter (C) lots are NOT enforced after 7 pm weekdays, so you do NOT need to use the Passport Parking phone app. If the Stadium Lot is full due to a football game, park in the Cleary Center Lot (Commuter Lot 12/C-12) on the northwest corner of East Avenue and Farwell Street, or in the Parking Ramp on the north side of Farwell Street between 16th and 17th Streets.
