Astronomy Lecture - Rockland Community College

I keep missing these for one reason or another. Friday night is tough after a week's work, but I'd like to try this one.

The Great Orion Nebula – Cradle of Creation

This February’s lecture takes us to one of the most spectacular and dynamic nearby neighborhoods in the Milky Way. Located only 1350 light-years away, the Orion Nebula (M42) consists of a large cloud of gas and dust excited and illuminated from within by ultraviolet and visible light from a multiple-star system containing at least 8 stars, including 4 blue super giants. RAC’s planetary expert Keith Murdock will give a guided tour through the features of this stunningly beautiful nebula and its constantly evolving surroundings.

Friday, February 22nd at 8:00 PM
Rockland Community College
Room 1106
