Apr. 24 Webcast - planet viewing and discussion

In honor of Global Astronomy Day 2010, Columbus State University's Coca-Cola Space Science Center will be holding a live evening webcast on Saturday, April 24. The webcast will start at 8:30 pm and continue through 10:30 pm. We will be showing live footage (if weather permits) and recently obtained images and animations of the currently visible planets, including Venus, Mars and Saturn, as well as our Moon. CSU astronomers and Space Science Center staff will be discussing topics such as the Moon's geology, Mars exploration, and Saturn, its moons, and rings. Viewers will be able to submit questions for the speakers to be answered after each segment's initial presentation. For more information, see the Space Science Center webpage, or go directly to the webcast page. (Microsoft Silverlight or a related browser plug-in will be needed.)
