Oct 24th : The Wonder and Awe of the Universe + Mt Kobau StarParty report

October 24 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Our meetings are free for members.  Members of the public can attend once for free, and are then encouraged to join.
We are very fortunate to have Dr David Prud’homme present in person!
Title : The Wonder and Awe of the Universe
Brief : This talk will take you on a mind-boggling journey through our Universe from the smallest building blocks to the almost incomprehensible immensity of space.  You will never think about the Universe quite the same again.
Bio : Dr. David Prud’homme is a former president of the Edmonton Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, with an avid interest in astronomy and space exploration.  He has been a volunteer instructor with Elder College for over a decade, offering two courses – “Introduction to the Night Skies” and “Space Race: Quest for the Moon.”  He and his wife, Linda, have successfully seen four total solar eclipses – in Aruba; the Lybian Sahara Desert; Queensland, Australia; and earlier this year in Miramichi, New Brunswick.  David loves sharing the wonder and awe of our Universe.
