📚 Lecture: "Space Telescopes: Revolutionizing Our View of the Cosmos"
🎤 Speaker: Dr. Niall Whiteford
Join us for a captivating evening with Dr. Niall Whiteford as we explore the transformative impact of space telescopes on our understanding of the universe. Since Galileo Galilei first pointed a telescope at the night sky in the 17th century, the journey of astronomical discovery took a monumental turn with the launch of space-based telescopes in the 20th century.
In this enlightening talk, Dr. Whiteford will trace the history of these remarkable instruments, highlighting the groundbreaking discoveries made possible by titans like the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope. Learn how these advances have reshaped our view of the cosmos and expanded our knowledge of extraterrestrial phenomena.
Dr. Niall Whiteford is an accomplished astrophysicist who completed his PhD at the University of Edinburgh before joining the American Museum of Natural History. His research leverages data from the James Webb Space Telescope to investigate weather phenomena on distant worlds, while also igniting public interest in the search for life beyond our solar system.
