(Real) Sounds of Space

Two of our own stalwart members, Cathy Stewart and Tom Bourgeois, will present again that great talk they did last year on some of the creepiest sounds heard in space, generated by stars, planets and other more mysterious sources. This event is free to the public and will be held at 8:00 PM in the lower level of the Skinner Library in Manchester on Thursday, the 19th of July. It is presented by the Southern Vermont Astronomy Group (SoVerA)

These sounds will be accompanied by extraordinary images of the sources themselves as provided by NASA/JPL and other space borne and ground based observatories. The combination of sights and sounds will be accompanied by explanations of the phenomena, their origins and probable and possible causes.

SoVerA is an organization composed of amateur and professional astronomers, educators, students and members of the lay public. They are dedicated to making astronomy much more accessible to all. Beyond astronomical events, talks and presentations are held in venues throughout the southern Vermont region on the third Thursday of every month, with observing afterwards if sky conditions permit.
