Join Lowell Observatory and Mother Road Brewing Company for Astronomy on Tap!
Listen to fascinating science talks, play trivia to win out-of-this-world prizes, and of course, enjoy Mother Road brews on tap.
This month’s speaker is Ben Shafransky, Lowell Discovery Telescope Operator. Ben will be talking about The History of Early Astrophotography, 1826-1930. Early photographic scientists looked up shortly after the invention of the photograph. Experiments to capture the sky yielded varying results until the birth of astrophotography was realized in 1840. The techniques and tools used to do this improved vastly over the next century until the point where a faint dwarf planet could eventually be found. Join Ben on this journey of exploration of firsts, from the very first photograph to the first images of Pluto.
We hope to see you there!
