AstroTalk With Josh Walawender

by vrecinto on August 24th, 2010

Come join Josh Walawender for a discussion on the Birth of Stars at `Imiloa Astronomy Center, Thursday August 26 at 4pm in the Moanahoku Hall.  The talk is FREE to the public.

We think of the night sky as unchanging, the stars we see are nearly
identical to what our ancestors saw. When examined closely,
however, the sky is a dynamic place. Stars pulsate during their
lives, they are born and die. In this talk, we will explore the process
of star birth and see how astronomers at the University of Hawaii
are examining the changes that take place in stars while they still
reside in the stellar nurseries in which they are born. A new project
run by UH astronomers will reveal star birth in a new way: by
monitoring young stars nightly over many years, we will be able to
watch those stars grow and evolve.

For the `Imiloa calendar lisitng
