Cradle of Creation |
|
|
Saturday, April 19th
| 11:00am at the library
|
|
|
This lecture will take you to one of the most spectacular and dynamic nearby neighborhoods in the Milky Way. Located only 1350 light-years away, the Orion Nebula (M42) consists of a large cloud of gas and dust excited and illuminated from within by ultraviolet and visible light from a multiple-star system containing at least 8 stars, including 4 blue super giants. Rockland (County) Astronomy Club’s planetary expert Keith Murdock will give a guided tour through the features of this stunningly beautiful nebula and its constantly evolving surroundings – The Orion Molecular Cloud. Keith will also explain some of the nebula’s astrophysics, illustrating why it is such a rich environment for forming new stars and planetary systems – a true Cradle of Creation.
|
|
|
|
|
Keith is a software engineer, materials science researcher, and renewable energy systems designer. He has been a dedicated amateur astronomer since 1996, and is part of the lecture series team for the Rockland Astronomy Club. In October 2005, Keith used the Struve telescope at McDonald Observatory in Texas to locate and acquire the recently-discovered dwarf planet Eris – an observation never before accomplished.
