Silicon Valley Astronomy Lectures

5
Astronomy #48

Listen to exciting, non-technical talks on some of the most interesting developments in astronomy and space science. Founded in 1999, the Silicon Valley Astronomy Lectures are presented on six Wednesday evenings during each school year at Foothill College, in the heart of California's Silicon Valley. Speakers include a wide range of noted scientists, explaining astronomical developments in everyday language. The series is organized and moderated by Foothill's astronomy instructor emeritus Andrew Fraknoi and jointly sponsored by the Foothill College Physical Science, Math, and Engineering Division, the SETI Institute, the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, and the University of California Observatories (including the Lick Observatory.)

    Fascinating
    I find it extraordinary that we live in an age in which some of the brightest minds of our time can share their immense knowledge to the common man for free. Truly remarkable

    Excellent!
    Dr Fraknoi & Foothill College deserve heaps of praise for producing this gem of a series. I’m lucky to have been introduced to this series in person by my parents. I’m also lucky to live within driving distance of FC. Dr Fraknoi has always presented interesting speakers and leaders in their respective fields. But now everyone on the planet (and beyond!) can enjoy these lectures remotely via podcast & video (YouTube). So sit back, relax, and enjoy their latest astronomy lecture! I’m sure they’ll be universally applauded for their efforts! Bravo!
