SUMMARY:Astroseminar - Skylar Grayson
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:\"Feedback Mechanisms and Diffuse Gas: What Can We Learn from\n
 Hydrodynamic Simulations?\"\n\nSkylar Grayson is a postdoctoral fellow at 
 the Waterloo Centre for\nAstrophysics. Her research focuses on understandi
 ng how feedback from\nactive galactic nuclei impacts diffuse gas reservoir
 s around\ngalaxies. . Beyond research\, she is currently serving as the O
 utreach\nCoordinator for the WCA and does science communication on social 
 media\nwith her “Space According to Skylar” accounts.

SUMMARY:WCA-KPL Public talk — From One Galaxy to Trillions: A History of\
 nExtragalactic Astronomy (Skylar Grayson)
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:A hundred years ago\, astronomers believed the Milky Way to be 
 the only\ngalaxy in the Universe. In this month's KPL astronomy talk\, Sky
 lar\nGrayson will take us on an adventure through history\, exploring how\
 nthe discoveries of the early 20th century expanded our understanding\nof 
 the scale of the Universe\, and created the new scientific field of\nextra
 galactic astronomy. We'll learn about the cutting edge research\nhappening
  in that field today\, and the ways in which anyone can\ncontribute to act
 ual scientific research!

 mith)
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The Universe is vast and ever expanding in its range\, so how d
 o we\nmeasure large cosmic distances accurately? In this month's KPL\nastr
 onomy talk\, Ethan Smith will discuss the cosmic distance ladder\,\nand ho
 w a series of overlapping methods and astronomical objects can\nbe used to
  measure cosmic distances from local stars to deep space.

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.
