SUMMARY:Public Talk - BBC Sky at Night Presenter\, Professor Chris Lintott - How to be surprised by the Universe
DESCRIPTION:How to be surprised by the UniverseDescription:  From mysterious radio signals to spectacular supernovae\, the Universe keeps finding new ways to astonish us. Chris Lintott (Sky at Night\, University of Oxford) explains why we should keep our eyes peeled for the unusual\, what to do when you think you’ve found an alien civilisation\, and the rules to live by in a spectacular and ever changing Universe.\n \nBiography: Chris Lintott is a Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford\, where he studies everything from galaxy evolution to interstellar asteroids. Through the Zooniverse citizen science platform\, which he leads\, and more recent work in machine learning\, he tries hard to work out how to make the best of the large volumes of data we receive from the Universe. Best known for his role as co-presenter on the BBC’s long-running Sky at Night program\, he is an accomplished speaker and populariser of science\, and is looking forward to his second visit to the AAS.

SUMMARY:Monthly Meeting June - The Last Star Gazers
DESCRIPTION:A bird that mimicked a black hole. The astronomer that discovered microwave ovens. A telescope that can fly. The science of astronomy is filled with true stories (and tall tales) of the adventures and misadventures that accompany our exploration of the universe. Join Dr. Emily Levesque\, author of the critically-acclaimed popular science book The Last Stargazers\, to take a behind-the-scenes tour of life as a professional astronomer. We’ll learn about some of the most powerful telescopes in the world\, meet the people who run them\, and explore the crucial role of human curiosity in the past\, present\, and future of scientific discovery. \nEmily Levesque is an astronomy professor at the University of Washington in Seattle. Her work explores how the most massive stars in the universe evolve and die. She has observed for upwards of fifty nights on many of the planet’s largest telescopes and flown over the Antarctic stratosphere in an experimental aircraft for her research. She is currently a 2022-2023 Fulbright U.S. Scholar at the University of Auckland and her book\, The Last Stargazers\, was shortlisted for the 2021 Royal Society Science Book prize. She earned a bachelor’s degree in physics from MIT and a PhD in astronomy from the University of Hawaii.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Astronomy June 2023
DESCRIPTION:A Tourist’s Guide to Titan\nby Jonathan Park\nSaturn’s largest moon\, Titan\, has lakes\, seas\, and rivers on its surface. It rains and snows there\, and we can find sand dunes\, mountain ranges\, and other familiar geographical features. Earth and Titan are the only places in the Solar System where surface liquid can be found. However\, on Titan\, instead of liquid water\, we find liquid methane\, and instead of rock\, we find ice frozen as hard as granite. The sky is an orange haze of organic molecules\, with the occasional methane cloud in summer. The air temperature is a rather cold minus 179 degrees Celsius\, and the seas and lakes are just a little cooler. It’s almost like Earth’s super-chilled twin. What would it be like to visit there? We will try to provide a really good idea with the help of computer-generated images. As a tourist\, you will encounter some intriguing surprises! So come along and enjoy this tourist’s guide to Titan.
