Come stay cool with us this August! Matthew Beasley will send us to the stars with a talk on supernova formation, and Johnathan Loritch will bring us down to earth with an overview about the history and function of the Enneagram personality test.
Matthew Beasley – Nice Star You Have There — Be a shame if anything happens to it.
Matthew will walk through the last and most interesting stages of the life of a massive star. From the exhaustion of hydrogen to the creation of heavy elements – the last days of a dying star are critical to the elements that we and our planet are made out of. If you want to get an insight into one of the most spectacular events in the universe, come on in!
