Dr. Ben Brown is an assistant professor and researcher at CU Boulder studying fluid dynamics in stars and exoplanets. He uses supercomputer modeling techniques to understand convection inside of stars and how it builds and affects the sun’s active magnetic field. This can help us learn more about the origins of magnetic field events, like solar flares, that could impact life on or near Earth.
Fiske is one of the largest planetariums in the US, having served CU Boulder & the local community since 1975. We offer a diverse range of fulldome films, live talks, laser and liquid sky shows, as well as public gatherings for astronomical and NASA-related events.
