Space and You with Dr. Lindsay DeMarchi In-Person
It was true when Carl Sagan said, "we are made of star-stuff," but we contain far more—a universe, in fact!
Come spend the evening with visiting Astronomer-in-Residence Dr. Lindsay DeMarchi. Relax as we unwind into dazzling mixtures of nebulae and galaxies, with commentary from history's great poets and writers alike. We will reminisce with stars about the end of their lives, and how their cosmic legacy has been handed down to us on our humble Earth.
Dr. DeMarchi is a 2023 Astronomer in Residence with the Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve STEM Network. This is a NASA funded program from Boise State University, which works closely with The Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve to bring science to classrooms, libraries, and more.
This program will also be livestreamed and available to watch later. Click here to watch online.
