Скачать или смотреть Infrared Astronomy with Sounding Rockets - Richard Feder - 07/22/2024

Why do we use sounding rockets to send telescopes above the atmosphere? What can we learn about the distribution of matter in our universe from infrared observations? Join us at our next Astronomy on Tap for insights from Richard Feder, a postdoctoral fellow at Caltech. Timestamps below:

Astronomy on Tap is a global phenomenon where professional scientists give informal science talks in local bars with accompanying pub trivia and interactions with the public. The Los Angeles chapter of Astronomy on Tap is very active, with monthly events at the Dog Haus Biergarten in Pasadena. This recording is a bit noisy due to the logistics of operating a camera in a crowded bar, but it sufficiently captures the enthusiastic energy of the few hundred attendees each month. Join us for a future Astronomy on Tap night--free and open to all, no reservations necessary: https://www.astro.caltech.edu/outreac...
