SUMMARY:Winter Skies - What's in the sky this season?
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Kopernik Staff\n\n\n\nLearn how to identify constellations and planets in the winter sky\, and how to spot the International Space Station. 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. Although it is cold\, winter is one of the best times to view planets and stars\, so head up to Kopernik\, away from the city lights!

SUMMARY:Science and Religion Part 3: Conflict or Consilience on Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Thomas O’Brien\, Professor Emeritus\, Binghamton University\n\n\n\nCome explore highlights of 1) the history of our scientific understanding of climate change and 2) the ancient to modern religious perspective of stewardship of our common garden-home\, Spaceship Earth. Consilience (rather than denialism) of Judeo-Christian & scientific perspectives provide leveraged power to create win-win synergy between sustainable economics and ecology. You will leave with practical\, ethical\, research-informed action steps to help us become “less of the problem and more of the solution” to this local-to-global\, existential challenge-opportunity.
