Just a reminder – the Astrophysics SIG meets this Friday at 7:30 in the classroom behind the Centennial Heritage Museum. The videos we’ll be watching are Alex Fillipenko on “The Stars and Their Lives” and Richard Wolfson on “Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity for Non-Scientists.” We’ll also have pictures collected by Don Lynn, and our usual discussions of current events and issues of interest coming out of the videos. Hope to see you there!
