SUNSET: 
Upcoming Astronomy Events
As a service to our community, Sky & Telescope lists astronomy-related events, including star parties, observatory public nights, astronomy talks, and more. Star parties offer dark skies and astronomical fellowship and often cater to families and feature special activities for kids. Public nights give the general public a chance to view the sky through large telescopes, and public talks are a great place to learn the fundamentals of the science and the craft.
You’ll also see online events offered here.
And if you’d like free copies of Sky & Telescope‘s Let’s Go Stargazing flyer or door prizes for your next star party, you can fill out this form.
AAVSO Webinar, with Dr. Adam Burgasser and Dr. Boris Gänsicke
April 24, 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT
Free
This free AAVSO webinar will first feature Dr. Adam Burgasser (UCalifornia, San Diego), "Stormy with a Chance of Iron: Weather and the Dynamic Atmospheres of Cold Stars and Brown Dwarfs."
Secondly, Dr. Boris Gänsicke (UWarwick), "The end of the worlds," in which he will discuss the ultimate fate of planetary systems: what happens once the planet host stars run out of fuel, including planets or their remains surviving the metamorphosis of their host stars. He will also review how we identify such evolved planetary systems, and the detections of giant planets on close orbits around white dwarfs.
