This year’s guest speaker will be Dr. Peter Garnavich. His presentation is entitled “The Expanding Universe and Large Telescopes.” Dr. Garnavich was a member of the research team that won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their discovery of the accelerating expansion of the universe. A reception will follow Dr. Garnavich’s presentation. Weather permitting, there will be an opportunity to go to the Observatory on Jordan Hall and look through the telescopes.
