People who are curious about how our view of the stars is changing are invited to Saint John’s Preparatory School on Thursday, November 19, to hear eighth grader Elodie Louis present her research on light pollution at Saint John's University and how it affects our view of the stars. She began her independent research project at the start of the semester and has since worked with professionals including Derek Larson, Ph.D., and Troy Knight, Ph.D., both professors on campus, as well as global dark sky advocates Jessica Heim and John Barentine, Ph.D.
The presentation will be broken into two parts. The first, from 9:05 to 9:35am, will be a formal presentation. The second, from 9:35 to 10:30am, will be a casual reception. Cookies will be provided by Sweet Loon Bake Shoppe and beverages by the Benedictine Center. We'd love to have you join us!
