National Astronomy Day 2021
Join us for a livestream in celebration of National Astronomy Day and the 125th anniversary of the historic Clark Telescope! Starting at 8:30pm PDT, join Lowell educators at the Clark Refractor for live views of the Sombrero Galaxy, the first object that was observed--by Vesto Slipher--to have been redshifted. Lowell astronomer Deidre Hunter will discuss the Sombrero's importance to Slipher’s research on what we know today as galaxies, her own modern-day galaxy research, and how she got interested in astronomy. You'll also hear all about the Clark's fascinating history and its place in popular culture.
