Join us for an extraordinary online event:
Get ready to explore the wonders of planet formation from the comfort of your own home! Join Associate Professor Steph Sallum from UC Irvine as we delve into the mysteries of how planets are born. Using the powerful LRIS and NIRSPEC instruments on the Keck I and II telescopes, we'll observe SR 12C, a giant planetary mass object still forming. This event offers a unique opportunity to witness live observations and gain insights into the processes that shape planetary systems.
The team will use the cutting-edge capabilities of the Keck Observatory to study how gas falls onto SR 12C, helping us understand the intricate dynamics of planet formation. Don't miss this chance to learn about the birth of planets and explore the cosmos with us!
