Science Outreach - Athabasca presents Three Decades of Space Adventures with Athabasca University

Join Science Outreach - Athabasca for a free community event titled Three Decades of Space Adventures with Athabasca University, with speaker Dr. Martin Connors, Athabasca University space science and physics professor.

The presentation will be held at the Athabasca University Governing Council Chambers, 1 University Drive, Athabasca, Alta.

Some of Martins's research activities including building a telescope to hunt for "Earth Trojan" (a special asteroid associated with Earth) as well as AU's strong cooperation with Japanese researchers. This collaboration helped pave the way for the Athabasca County large observatory to be considered the best comprehensive aurora observatory in Canada. Martins will speak about many unique and interesting space facts—including what a good place Athabasca is for space observations.

Please note that the event may be photographed or recorded and shared. Those unable to attend in person may be able to join virtually through Microsoft Teams. A link will be posted on the Science Outreach - Athabasca - upcoming events page on the day of the event.

Refreshments and door prizes will be provided.
