SUMMARY:Summer Public Night - Sporadic meteoroids and their risk in space
DESCRIPTION:Every day\, Earth is bombarded by countless tiny fragments of asteroids and comets\, but what happens when these meteoroids pose a threat to spacecraft and astronauts? Join us on Saturday\, June 6th\, as Max Vovk explores the world of sporadic meteoroids\, the unpredictable tiny particles that zip through our solar system. Learn where they come from\, how we detect and track them\, and why understanding their risk is crucial for the safety of satellites\, space missions\, and the people who travel beyond Earth’s atmosphere. \nIf the skies are clear\, we’ll have our telescopes ready for night sky observing. Engage with expert astronomers and ask your burning questions – this event is perfect for anyone interested in the wonders of the night sky\, whether you’re a seasoned astronomer or just starting out. 🌟 \nAdmission is completely FREE and open to all. No registration required! Drop by for a unique evening under the stars – ideal for families\, students\, seasoned stargazers\, and anyone curious about the universe. \nVenue: Cronyn Observatory\, Western University\n Date: Saturday\, June 6th\n Time: 8:30 to 11:00 pm \nCheck out our summer schedule: https://cronyn.uwo.ca/schedule/ \nWe hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Star Formation as revealed by the most powerful telescope
DESCRIPTION:Since its first images in 2022\, the James Webb Space Telescope has transformed our view of the universe – and some of its most breathtaking discoveries have come from peering into the hearts of stellar nurseries where new stars are born. Join us on Saturday\, June 13th\, as Prof. Els Peeters shares how JWST is revolutionizing our understanding of star formation. Discover what this extraordinary telescope is revealing about the gas\, dust\, and chemistry within these stellar nurseries\, and what these findings tell us about the origins of stars and planetary systems like our own. 🌟 \nIf the skies are clear\, we’ll have our telescopes ready for night sky observing. Engage with expert astronomers and ask your burning questions – this event is perfect for anyone interested in the wonders of the night sky\, whether you’re a seasoned astronomer or just starting out. 🌟 \nAdmission is completely FREE and open to all.

SUMMARY:Summer Public Night - Lessons Learned from Balloon Launch
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to the next public night at Cronyn Observatory! \nWhat does it take to launch an infrared camera 33 kilometres into the stratosphere? Join us on Saturday\, June 20th\, as Prof. Stan Metchev shares the story behind the balloon launch attempt at the Canadian Space Agency’s balloon base in Timmins. The goal of the experiment was to test equipment that could be used in future missions to detect Earth-like planets in our galaxy. Hear firsthand about the challenges of the mission and what lessons they’re taking forward as they work toward a future low-cost space mission \nIf the skies are clear\, we’ll have our telescopes ready for night sky observing.

SUMMARY:Summer Public Night: Brown Dwarfs: Failed Stars or Overachieving Planets?
DESCRIPTION:They’re too small to be stars\, yet too big to be planets – so what exactly are they? Join us on Saturday\, June 27th\, as Samantha Lambier explores the strange world of brown dwarfs in her talk\, “Brown Dwarfs: Failed Stars or Overachieving Planets?” Discover how these mysterious objects form\, why they never ignite like true stars\, and what studying them reveals about the blurry boundary between stars and planets. 🪐⭐ \nIf the skies are clear\, we’ll have our telescopes ready for night sky observing.
