$Science Under the Stars An Astronomer\u2019s View on Climate: Milankovitch Cycles$

Join us in the Planetarium for this free talk with Dr. Jacob Hamer, Museum Assistant Curator of Planetarium Education.
Over the last 800,000 years glacial ice caps miles deep advanced and retreated across North America at least eight times. These cyclic changes in Earth climate are connected to small cyclic variations in Earth’s orbit called Milankovitch cycles. Learn how astronomy and climate science are intimately connected, and how New Jersey rocks have something to say about these cycles!
