Jim and Linda Lee Planetarium: Mapping the Milky Way

Feb 20th

  • Time6:00 PM to 7:00 PM

Join us for this live talk where we will explore our Milky Way galaxy in 3D with data collected from missions like Gaia and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We'll learn how astronomers map the Milky Way from the Earth and discover patterns in the stars' chemical properties that teach us about our Galaxy's history. Along the way, we'll uncover how different types of stellar explosions produce the elements on the periodic table and create chemical patterns across space.
