SUMMARY:Summer Skies - Night Sky Observing This Season
DESCRIPTION:The summer solstice occurs June 21 at 4:24am! Now that we are about to enter summer\, discover what will be up in the sky this season. Learn how to identify constellations and planets in the summer sky\, and how to spot the International Space Station. Free star maps will be provided. If you have your own telescope\, bring it with you and a Kopernik Astronomical Society member will help you learn how to assemble it and use it. After the program\, head outside to view the night sky through Kopernik’s telescopes.

SUMMARY:Shipwrecks and Submerged Heritage. The science and policy of maritime archaeology
DESCRIPTION:Shipwrecks\, submerged aircraft\, and the vast underwater unknown havealways captivated people’s interest and sense of adventure. But\, how do explorers and scientists discover\, research\, and protect these limited resources? In this talk\, Dana Carris will introduce some of the technologies and scientific methods used by maritime archaeologists\, and highlight some of these unique resources across New York.

SUMMARY:From Rooftops to Space: The New Era of Solar Cells
DESCRIPTION:Solar cells have evolved from traditional silicon panels on rooftops to new technologies like lightweight and flexible perovskite solar cells. This talk will explain how solar cells turn sunlight into electricity and explore how advances in materials and manufacturing are making solar energy more powerful\, affordable\, and useful in applications ranging from homes to space missions. The presentation will provide an easy-to-understand look at the future of clean energy and why solar technology matters for everyone.

SUMMARY:The Magic of Fireflies: Is their bright light fading?
DESCRIPTION:Fireflies\, or lightning bugs\, are neither flies nor bugs. They are actually in the beetle family and are beginning to appear in local fields and forests. The light they emit is a biochemical reaction that can vary from green to yellow to red. This talk will focus on the fascinating biology of fireflies\, their threats\, and what we can do to help them persist.
