Join Dr. Rachel Smith, head of the NCMNS Astronomy and Astrophysics Research Lab and professor at Appalachian State University, for a cosmic adventure.
Dr. Smith will share how her work as an astrophysicist studying forming stars has taken her from incredible ground-based astronomy on Maunakea, Hawaii, to the stratosphere on the world’s largest airborne observatory, and even to the depths of a methane seep as a guest scientist on the submersible ALVIN. We will hear how all of this work connects to our living planet, our cosmic origins, and our ongoing search for life beyond Earth.
