The Music of the Spheres concert series gives the public a chance to experience Lick Observatory at night!
Activities include a musical performance, an astronomy talk by a world-renowned scientist, viewings through both the historic 36-inch Great Lick Refractor telescope and 40-inch Nickel Reflector telescope, a fascinating talk about Lick Observatory's rich history, after-hours gift shop access, light refreshments, and astronomy discussions with amateur astronomers using their own ground telescopes.
Concert by:
Oscar Reynolds Trio
Join master South American artists for a rare evening of Afro-Latin Andean Jazz as these masters lace haunting Andean panpipes with fiery guitar, bass and percussion that evoke hints of jazz and world beat.
Lecture by:
Aaron Romanowsky, UCSC
"Riddle of the Giant Star Clusters: Monsters or Victims?"
Dr. Romanowsky is a faculty member of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at San Jose State University, and a researcher at the University of California Observatories (UCO). He uses dynamics to study dark matter, black holes, star clusters, and galaxies. He is one of the lead investigators in the SLUGGS (SAGES Legacy Unifying Globulars and GalaxieS) Survey with the Keck and Subaru telescopes.
