Details
Join us for a free lecture with National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) scientist Dr. Rebecca Centeno Elliott To the human eye, the Sun appears as a ball of light suspended in the daytime sky. Despite its deceiving stillness, a closer look shows us that the Sun's atmosphere is alive and full of activity. Every second of every minute, strong winds from the Sun constantly sweep through space. Occasionally, the Sun brews large storms that send vast amounts of hot material and radiation into space. All of this activity, known as Space Weather, puts our increasingly technological society at risk.
This talk is part of our Thursday Nights @ the Museum series. Join us every Thursday from Jan. 23 – May 1 for concerts, films, and free talks in the Longmont Museum’s Stewart Auditorium. The Museum galleries are also open late on Thursday nights. Explore the Picasso exhibit with extra hours from 5 – 9 pm before your program.
