Public Lecture & Stargazing: "A Tale of Galactic Transformation: The Habitat of Jellyfish Galaxies" with Dr. Nick Luber (December 1)

[Columbia Astronomy Public Outreach]

Hi everyone,

With Thanksgiving behind us, we've officially entered the holiday season -- and what better way to kick off the holiday season than with more astronomy!?

Join us in Pupin Hall 301 next Friday, December 1, at 6pm to hear from Columbia Astronomer Dr. Nick Luber, who will be telling us about "A Tale of Galactic Transformation: The Habitat of Jellyfish Galaxies":

"Join our exploration into the mesmerizing appearance of jellyfish galaxies—galactic transformers navigating their cluster habitats. In this talk, we will unravel the mysteries behind their iconic starry trails and tell the story of how a normal galaxy transforms into a magnificent jellyfish galaxy."

We'll start the evening at 6pm with some astronomy trivia, followed by Dr. Luber's talk and Q&A. From 7:10-8:10pm, we will be outside stargazing on College Walk (weather permitting). 

The main event will take place in Pupin Hall 301. Signs will be posted to direct you to the lecture hall, and general directions to Columbia and Pupin Hall can be found here. Outdoor observing/stargazing will take place on College Walk, the portion of 116th street crossing through Columbia's main campus; we will walk down to College Walk as a group following the lecture and Q&A. Telescopes and binoculars will be provided by Columbia Astronomy (but you are absolutely welcome to bring your own observing equipment).

This event is free and open to all -- stay only as long as you want. If you plan to attend this event, please fill out the RSVP form at tinyurl.com/columbia-astro-dec1.

Looking forward to seeing you in Pupin Hall next week!

Very best,

Unfortunately, due to the rain, we will not be stargazing tonight. We're hoping to hold a separate stargazing event in the near future and will keep you all updated about this!
