Slideshow Description

We offer slideshows of images of the sky during star-gazing nights, either in lieu of observing (in the case of cloudy weather--Pupin 301), or for attendees seeking a brief respite from the rooftop (during cold sessions in the Winter--Pupin 1402). These slideshows are broken into 5-10 minute-long themed groups of images (e.g. nebulae, supernovae remnants, disk galaxies, atmospheric anomalies, moons, etc.), and are presented with commentary by one of our volunteers. They allow the public an opportunity to see the sky as it really exists, not from our often overly-light-polluted skies. If you're interested in putting together a short (10 slides) slideshow on some astronomical topic, please contact Cameron.
