Lecture:

Spectacular images of the cosmos have enabled humans to understand the Universe we live in. This talk will take us through the high points of astronomical imaging, from the invention of photography, the perfection of multi-color ground-based imaging with large telescopes, to the construction of the Hubble Space Telescope. I will conclude by showing glimpses of the future when three huge ground-based telescopes now under construction will use a new technique called adaptive optics to obtain images that are 10 times sharper than Hubble and see stars that are 100 times fainter.

 

Speaker:

Dr. Sandra Moore Faber is University Professor Emerita at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and a staff member of the UCO/ Lick Observatory. She is an observational astronomer with research interests in cosmology and galaxy formation. Some of her major discoveries include the first structural scaling law for galaxies (called the Faber-Jackson law), large-scale flow perturbations in the expansion of the Universe caused by superclusters of galaxies, and black holes at the centers of galaxies.

Let’s look into the cruise ships schedule portion for this week.

 

 

Our topic for discussion this week is the usability of Google Maps in Aruba. You can download the Aruba map for offline use because not everyone has internet connectivity on the island. I made a post about this on One Happy Podcast’s Facebook group which you may also want to check out. We’ve used it for navigating the island for 3 years now and it has never steered us wrong.

 

Also, Aruba Ray Ellin had his show on Comedy Central called This Week at the Comedy Cellar debut recently. Its official blurb goes: “This Week at the Comedy Cellar takes an unprecedented look inside New York City's hottest comedy club and the country's top comedians as they tackle all the freshest topics of the week.” Do check it out on Friday nights at 11pm on Comedy Central.

If there’s anything at all that you would like to suggest for the show or simply want to relay feedback, please do send me an email at curt@onehappypodcast.com or drop a voice message on our hotline number (302) 635-0815.
