Date:
Enjoy a refined evening of fine music, celestial bodies, and a 25,000-pound refractor telescope.

Next week’s artists are Grammy Award-winning Eric Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel. UC Santa Cruz astronomer and recent recipient of the National Medal of Science Sandra Faber will present her talk, “the Milky Way Galaxy, Quantum Fluctuations, and Schroedinger’s Cat.” Children must be at least 10 years of age.
