Saunders Memorial Lecture Series: Here Comes your Cosmic Perspective

The Bowman Museum is proud to host Dr. Scott Fisher, Astronomer and faculty in the University of Oregon Department of Physics at our Saunders Memorial Lecture Series on Oct. 12 at 6:30pm.  Dr. Scott Fisher’s will be presenting, Here Comes your Cosmic Perspective, an informal and friendly talk that will weave together a tale of three topics: the scale of the Solar System, exoplanets, and SETI - the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. This talk contains pictures and videos from observatories like the Hubble Space Telescope and our own Pine Mountain Observatory. With our new perspective, he will move into a discussion of one of the most exciting recent discoveries in all of astronomy - the existence of Exo-planets.  From there, Dr. Fisher will talk about SETI – and the scientific projects in progress that are “looking for ET”.

Join us and come learn a new Cosmic Perspective!

Dr. Scott Fisher’s talk will be hosted at the Bowman Museum (246 N. Main St. Prineville).  Admission is free.

This event is co-sponsored by the Crook County Historic Society and the Friends of the Crook County Library.
