In conjunction with CSPAC's world premiere of Liz Lerman's The Matter of Origins (see interview), the Department of Astronomy will hold a special panel discussion about origins in astronomy. Dr. Cole Miller, Dr. Neal Miller and Dr. Stacy McGaugh will give brief overviews of origins within their specific areas of research followed by a question and answer session. A tour of the observatory will follow the discussion and weather-permitting, we will also observe the night sky.
