Dr. Paul Goldsmith Lecture Friday!

Down to the wire... here's Dick:

Dear WAS members,

Dr. Paul Goldsmith, Chief Technologist for the Astronomy and Physics Directorship and Senior Research Scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, will present a talk on Friday, October 17th at 7:30 pm in the Cranbrook Institute of Science auditorium entitled "The Road to Stardom in the Milky Way".

The Milky Way and other galaxies contain billions of stars and most of the matter we can readily identify is in the form of stars. But where do stars come from and how does star formation take place? Paul Goldsmith, take us on a journey into space to answer these questions and discuss what the most recent research has taught us about how stars and planets form. Dr. Goldsmith also will give us a sneak preview of future space missions that will help us understand more about the mysteries of the universe.

This is a combined presentation between WAS and the Cranbrook Institute of Science and attendance by WAS members is greatly encouraged. It is very important to the future activities of the our Club that as many members as possible and their family and friends attend this presentation.
