To test cosmology theories and to grasp how stars and galaxies formed\, UC Berkeley collaborates world-wide to make huge 3D maps of hydrogen\, the most abundant cosmic element \nFor directions and more information http://www.friendsofmttam.org/astronomy.html URL:https://www.friendsofmttam.org/event/astronomy-nights-the-largest-3d-maps-of-our-universe/ LOCATION:Mt Theater\, Mt Tam State Park\, Mill Valley\, CA\, 2 Park Ter\, United States CATEGORIES:Astronomy END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190608T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190608T223000 DTSTAMP:20260430T091358 CREATED:20190326T163156Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190516T001921Z UID:34469-1560024000-1560033000@www.friendsofmttam.org SUMMARY:Astronomy Nights - Gravitational Lensing: Bends in Space-time DESCRIPTION:Gravitational Lensing: Bends in Space-time\nFatima Abdurrahman\, Doctoral Candidate\, Astronomy Department\, UC Berkeley\n100 years ago\, Einstein predicted that light rays would deviate from straight-line paths in the space near massive objects. Today\, we use this fact to weigh galaxies\, discover planets of other stars\, and “see” invisible black holes. How did this idea of gravitational lensing come about\, and how do we use it today to probe all fields of astrophysics? \nFor directions and more information http://www.friendsofmttam.org/astronomy.html URL:https://www.friendsofmttam.org/event/astronomy-nights-gravitational-lensing-bends-in-space-time/ LOCATION:Mt Theater\, Mt Tam State Park\, Mill Valley\, CA\, 2 Park Ter\, United States CATEGORIES:Astronomy END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190713T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190713T223000 DTSTAMP:20260430T091358 CREATED:20190326T163156Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190516T001921Z UID:34470-1563048000-1563057000@www.friendsofmttam.org SUMMARY:Astronomy Nights - Cassini's Spectacular Final Year at Saturn DESCRIPTION:Cassini’s Spectacular Final Year at Saturn\nDr. Matthew Tiscareno\, Senior Research Scientist\, SETI Institute Cassini’s 13-year exploration of Saturn stands as the most successful interplanetary mission in NASA history. Its “Grand Finale” (with dives off the outer ring edge\, and between inner rings & cloud tops) culminated with a plunge into Saturn’s depths. Insights earned during these maneuvers bring Saturn’s complex glory into focus as never before. \nFor directions and more information http://www.friendsofmttam.org/astronomy.html URL:https://www.friendsofmttam.org/event/astronomy-nights-cassinis-spectacular-final-year-at-saturn/ LOCATION:Mt Theater\, Mt Tam State Park\, Mill Valley\, CA\, 2 Park Ter\, United States CATEGORIES:Astronomy END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190810T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190810T223000 DTSTAMP:20260430T091359 CREATED:20190326T163156Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190516T001921Z UID:34471-1565467200-1565476200@www.friendsofmttam.org SUMMARY:Astronomy Nights - Astrobiology Under Our Feet & Out to the Stars DESCRIPTION:Astrobiology Under Our Feet & Out to the Stars\nDr. Penelope Boston\, Director\, NASA Astrobiology Institute\, NASA Ames Research Center\nThe Age of Astrobiology has begun. We have a whole Solar System—and a galaxy of star-warmed worlds beyond—to explore for life. How do we look for life here and way out there? How will we know it when we find it? Our exploration begins at Earth. We must apply what we are learning about our own amazing home planet to our search for life beyond. \nFor directions and more information http://www.friendsofmttam.org/astronomy.html URL:https://www.friendsofmttam.org/event/astronomy-nights-astrobiology-under-our-feet-out-to-the-stars/ LOCATION:Mt Theater\, Mt Tam State Park\, Mill Valley\, CA\, 2 Park Ter\, United States CATEGORIES:Astronomy END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190907T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20190907T220000 DTSTAMP:20260430T091359 CREATED:20190326T163157Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190516T001922Z UID:34472-1567884600-1567893600@www.friendsofmttam.org SUMMARY:Astronomy Nights - MISSION: MARS DESCRIPTION:MISSION: MARS\nDr. Pascal Lee\, Planetary Scientist\, Mars & SETI Institutes We are making progress globally—from the Arctic to Antarctica\, from underground labs to the International Space Station—to achieve the first human voyage to Mars.

Yet\, we know so little about this mysterious stuff that constitutes over 80% of the material universe. This talk will illuminate our universe’s elusive dark matter\, highlighting the ingenious methods that scientists use to search for it. \nFor directions and more information http://www.friendsofmttam.org/astronomy.html URL:https://www.friendsofmttam.org/event/astronomy-nights-illuminating-dark-matter/ LOCATION:Mt Theater\, Mt Tam State Park\, Mill Valley\, CA\, 2 Park Ter\, United States CATEGORIES:Astronomy END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
