Astronomical Phenomena Revealed with Jackie Faherty
May 28, 2013
What types of astronomical phenomena are observable from Earth? In this program, Museum research scientist Jackie Faherty uses the power of the Dome’s Zeiss IX Projector and the Museum’s Digital Universe Atlas to simulate numerous exciting celestial phenomena that you should be able to see in your lifetime. From transits of the inner plants, to partial and total solar and lunar eclipses, she will simulate events you should expect and when you can expect to see them.
