WCA-KPL Public Talk: Black Holes and Beyond (Lucy Pothier-Bogoslowski)

Black holes are massive objects from which even light cannot escape -- so how can we "see" them? In this month's KPL astronomy talk, Lucy Pothier-Bogoslowski  will discuss several observational techniques and properties of black holes that allow us to observe them and their impact on their environments from small to large scales.

WCA-KPL Public Talk: A History of the Telescope (Ana Ennis)

Astronomers today have access to telescopes that orbit Earth, or that have extremely large mirrors, allowing us to study the furthest corners of the Universe. In this month's KPL astronomy talk, Dr. Ana Ennis will discuss the foundational optics that led to the invention of the telescope, and in particular, the stories of the people that contributed to it.
