This week, The Space Telescope Science Institute is hosting a workshop dedicated to the Orion Nebula. Talks and smaller presentations will discuss everything the wealth of ground-based and Hubble observations have taught us about this famous landmark in the sky.
The workshop offers us an amazing new look at an old friend.
To celebrate this event and to offer the attendees an opportunity to talk about their research to the general public, we are hosting two Hubble Hangouts on Monday and Tuesday and 6pm EDT.
+Scott Lewis and +Tony Darnell will host members of the workshop to talk about (among other things):
* What kind of stars are being born?
* What can infrared observations tell us about Orion?
* Ages and age spreads in the Orion Nebula
* What does the nebula tell us about star formation?
* What can the stars being born in Orion tell us about young star clusters in the galactic center?
Interested in the kind of cutting-edge research that pushes the boundaries of our knowledge of this famous star-forming region? Mark your calendars and bring your questions and comments.
We know you’ll learn something new and we are looking forward to seeing you there!
