-- Guilford College Prof. Don Smith

Prof. Don Smith will present a multimedia lecture in our planetarium dome on the topic of classical novae: stars that dramatically increase in brightness. Some of these stars even repeat their flares. Don will explain why these events happen, why they might recur, and where they appear on the sky. The currently visible star T CrB might flare at any moment! After the presentation, if weather allows, visitors will be welcomed to the rooftop observatory to experience the sky through our available telescopes.

7:30 PM at the CLINE OBSERVATORY, GUILFORD COLLEGE
