International Year of Astronomy Public Talk Series

World-renowned UC Berkeley astronomers describe the excitement and challenges of astronomical research. From the search for planets around other stars, to huge black holes at the centers of galaxies; from the explosive deaths of stars to the mysteries of dark energy; and from volcanoes on Jupiter's moons to the historical impact of Galileo, we bring deep space down to earth. Third Saturday of each month. See our webpage (http://astro.berkeley.edu/iya) for more details.
