Flagstaff views space as art
This November, a talk will be given by astronomer Dr. Michael West in Flagstaff.
As most locals are aware, Flagstaff is home to the world renown Lowell Observatory. In addition to ongoing work, the observatory offers talks by some of the most prominent space research scientists in the world today.
In his talk, part of a series called The Big Picture: What the Universe Really Looks Like, Dr. West will be offering a new perspective on space science by adding art into the mixture. In his talk, Dr. West will also be adding music. Those that present talks like this usually get their program brochure printing done months in advance.
Dr. West joined the team at the Lowell Observatory a decade ago, serving in a variety of positions, including as Principal Investigator on Six Hubble space missions. His work has been mostly centered on galactic cannibalism, where large galaxies consume smaller ones and in so doing provide some spectacular imagery. Dr. West has also published articles in multiple notable journals and newspapers, and has written two books about space.
His talk will be given at the Lowell Universe Theater, located at 1400 West Mars Hill Rd., Flagstaff, on Friday, November 14 from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The attendance fee is included in the general admissions fee, which is $35 for adults, $20 for children, and $30 for seniors.
