I will be giving four online presentations this weekend as part of the 26th “Astronomy at the Beach” – Michigan’s largest FREE astronomy event. I am unable to attend the in-person, so I will be hosting Zoom sessions both Friday and Saturday night during the event:
A Tour of the Solar System – I’ll visit all the usual places, and several unusual ones in the solar system and beyond using SpaceEngine. Note: I want to give this presentation to a LOT of classrooms this year!
[Friday Sept. 16 6:00 PM EST]
[Saturday Sept. 17 6:00 PM EST]
A Mission to Mars – I’ll design, build, launch, fly and land a probe to Mars (Er, Duna) in Kerbal Space Program. Along the way, I’ll show some basic orbital mechanics. Hilarity is a given.
