SUMMARY:Astroseminar - Rachel Bezanson
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Bezanson is Associate Professor at the University of\nPi
 ttsburgh. She is an observational astronomer interested in empirical\nstud
 ies of massive galaxies\, both today and in the early Universe. Her\nresea
 rch aims to disentangle and interpret the morphological\,\nstructural\, an
 d dynamical evolution of massive galaxies through cosmic\ntime. She is int
 erested in understanding how and when galaxies form\,\nhow star-forming ga
 laxies turn off - or “quench” - their\nstar-formation\, and the physic
 al processes that drive the evolution of\nearly galaxies into the bimodal 
 and well-behaved galaxy populations\nobserved in the local Universe.

SUMMARY:WCA-KPL Public Talk: A History of the Telescope (Ana Ennis)
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Astronomers today have access to telescopes that orbit Earth\, 
 or that\nhave extremely large mirrors\, allowing us to study the furthest\
 ncorners of the Universe. In this month's KPL astronomy talk\, Dr. Ana\nEn
 nis will discuss the foundational optics that led to the invention\nof the
  telescope\, and in particular\, the stories of the people that\ncontribut
 ed to it. From ancient civilizations to the current era\, we\nwill see how
  the designs and functionalities of telescopes have\nevolved\, and how exa
 ctly we came to have the amazing instruments that\nare available today.
