SUMMARY:Seeing in Depth: Asteroids Over Michigan
DESCRIPTION:While you might not call the Detroit Observatory if an asteroid hits your car\, we can help illuminate the history of asteroid discovery across the 19th century! The Astronomers of U-M’s Detroit Observatory were responsible for the discovery and study of many asteroids in our solar system and we are lucky to still have the telescopes and scientific instruments that helped them complete this work. Join us Friday\, June 30 for a talks and presentations around our history with asteroids\, along with demos of our beautiful 19th century telescopes. We will also be showing images of asteroids and comets taken through our historic Fitz telescope. If weather permits\, we will also include night sky observing through our telescopes. \nSeeing in Depth programs are a chance to take a closer look at some of the people\, places\, and sciences from the observatory’s history. Talks and presentations feature observatory staff and begin at 8PM. Telescope observing is weather dependent and will begin after sunset. \nInternational Asteroid Day is dedicated to bring public awareness to the hazards of asteroid impacts\, crisis communications around asteroid impacts\, and the ongoing search for asteroids in our solar system that could be dangerous to Earth. \nLearn more about International Asteroid Day here.
