Hi Everyone,
We're back tonight at 8pm for the second half of our spring lecture & stargazing series. You know about Hubble, but how much do you know about the other telescopes we've put up in space? Come learn about our other "Eyes in the Sky" from graduate student, Ximena Fernandez. The forecast is looking good, so you'll also be able to turn your own eyes to the sky from our roof after the lecture.
Abstract: There are tens of telescopes in space constantly observing the most exciting events in the Universe. In this talk, I will highlight some recent results from the different space telescopes, ranging from gamma rays and x-rays coming from the energetic center of our Milky Way, to infrared light from galaxies in the young Universe.
Remember, all of our events are free and open to all. The lectures are aimed at the level of the layperson, so children should get something
out of them too. Stay only as long as you want. For more information about our events, please visit:

See you tonight!
Sincerely,
Columbia Astronomy Public Outreach
