Welcome to our May 19, 2018 Event

Session 1

This FOSAA event will include a spectacular presentation at the Arne Slettebak Planetarium and several short talks by Ohio State researchers, who will describe recent discoveries at the frontiers of their fields, at a level accessible to all.

Following these presentations, an informal lunch with Ohio State faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and students will give you the chance to ask all of your questions about planets, stars, galaxies, and the universe, and to learn more about astronomy and astrophysics research at Ohio State.

We invite you to support the Friends of Ohio State Astronomy & Astrophysics so that we can continue to bring you exciting public lectures and events! Please take a moment to donate here. Thank you!
