Below is the program of events for the New England Fall Astronomy Festival 2012, held at the University of New Hampshire Observatory.
Our keynote speaker is Dr. Alex Filippenko, professor of astronomy at the University of California, Berkeley. The talk is scheduled for Friday, September 21, at 7:30 p.m. The talk, entitled “Dark Energy and the Runaway Universe,” will cover the expansion of the universe and the intriguing discoveries to which Dr. Filippenko has contributed.
New this year for children is the Discovery Dome. A variety of astronomy-related shows will be playing in this inflatable dome every half hour on Saturday, September 22.
And do not forget to have a look through a telescope or two!
