Description:
|
Twinsburg Public Library will take visitors on a journey to the center of our Galaxy when it unveils unprecedented mural-sized images of the Milky Way’s core as seen by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, Spitzer Space Telescope, and Chandra X-ray Observatory. The images will be unveiled to the public on November 23rd, 2009, at 6:30pm. Clyde Simpson, Observatory Coordinator of the Cleveland Natural History Museum, will speak. Within these images one can trace the spectacle of stellar evolution: from vibrant regions of star birth, to young hot stars, to old cool stars, to seething remnants of stellar death called black holes. This activity occurs against a vivid backdrop in the crowded, hostile environment of the Galaxy’s core, the center of which is dominated by a supermassive black hole millions of times more massive than our Sun. These multi-wavelength views provide both stunning beauty and a wealth of scientific information that could not have been dreamed of by Galileo. Twinsburg Public Library is located at 10050 Ravenna Rd., Twinsburg, OH 44087. For more information and to register for the unveiling, call (330) 425-4268 x2.
