🎄 December 16: Big Night at the Westport Observatory!

Yale’s Professor Larry Gladney joins us live in the WAS classroom:

“A Survey for the Ages: The Vera Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time.”

It’s also our holiday party, so prepare for questionable sweaters, apple cider, and at least one astronomer trying to hang tinsel on the telescopes.

Join us! 👉 https://was-ct.org/events/larry-gladney-professor-of-physics-at-yale/

"At the end of its planned 10-year survey, Rubin will have taken 2 million images with 2,300 megapixels each, capturing more of the cosmos than any other existing telescope."
