The Death of Stars

Presenters: Derek Perera and Tyler Barna

Supernovae, violent explosions that occur at the end of stars' lives, are some of the most energetic, transient processes in our universe. Despite being such important events, they are still not completely understood. We will explore the two main types of explosions in this event.

Universe @ Home

The Drake Equation and Extraterrestrial Life

Presenters: Sarah Taft and John Miller

We will start this semester's Universe @ Home events by talking about the Drake equation, a famous method used to analyze and estimate the number of extraterrestrial civilizations that could exist in the Milky Way Galaxy. Aspects of this equation include star formation, stars that host planets, and what planetary conditions are necessary to host life.

Universe in the Park

The Minnesota Institute for Astrophysics (MIfA) invites you to join us at our free outdoor Universe in the Park event. At these events, attendees will be able to look through telescopes set up and directed by graduate students from MIfA, weather allowing. Our graduate students will also give a short (~20 minute) outdoor talk about space science or astronomy to set the scene.

All events begin at 8:45 pm, with telescope observations beginning as soon as the sky is dark enough. We hope you can join us!
