A great event last weekend at Flipped Science Fair: our volunteers presented their research in poster presentations and were judged by students! Thanks to all our volunteers and congratations to Yasmeen Asali for being voted best poster!
If you're curious about how many meteors you can see in your area given your location, the altitude of the Sun, the phase of the Moon, and your local light pollution, check out this tool, by Yale astronomy undergrad Anavi Uppal: meteoreo.streamlit.app

With Yasmeen Asali, Konstantin Gerbig, Zili Shen, and Aritra Ghosh I অরিত্র ঘোষ! A Standardized Framework for Collecting Graduate Student Input in Faculty Searches baas.aas.org/pub/2022i091
How did the planets in our Solar System form, and how did that picture change during the era of exoplanet discovery? Our first speaker Konstantin Gerbig will discuss his research on protoplanetary disks --- the primordial birthplaces of planetary systems.
Last month, the DART mission slammed into an asteroid to change its orbit as proof-of-concept for planetary defense. Our second speaker Garrett Levine studies the interplay between comets, asteroids, and planets, and he will talk about DART and its ramifications.
Our standard cosmological model tells us that even the largest galaxies started out as small objects. Thanks to the JWST we can now look back to the earliest epochs of galaxy assembly, and the things we see are quite surprising! Our final speaker Pieter van Dokkum dives into this.
Our next AoT New Haven event is coming up this Wednesday, October 12th, 7 PM EST. Join us at BAR_NewHaven for great beer and even better science! We've got 3 awesome speakers lined up and great trivia prizes to win! Keep an eye on this page for speaker highlights upcoming 🚀🪐✨
