Ithaca College

Please join us for a talk entitled: Astro-geology from Io to Old Faithful
with Julie Rathbun & Tyler Nordgren, University of Redlands

We live in a golden age of solar system exploration. Our robotic spacecraft reveal planets and moons more geologically active and unusual than previously thought. Current and proposed missions are furthering our understanding of volcanoes, seas, geysers, and tides. Many of these phenomena have terrestrial analogs in America's national parks where visitors are routinely amazed at the view of the stars visible from these dark-sky locations. By tapping into already popular ranger programs we have a golden opportunity to highlight planetary discovery to a public primed to learn more about our universe, both on the ground and in the sky above.
