Press release from the Chester County Library System: September 22, 2021 It's time for the Annual Adult STEM Lecture! For an early Halloween treat, learn about the extremely scary afterlives of stars! After the destruction of a supernova explosion, the leftovers can become either a neutron star or a black hole. These monsters can bend space and send time curving in front of our eyes, and things that go bump in the dark can rip parts of the earth's atmosphere off from thousands of light years away! This thrilling lecture will be presented by Dr. Michelle Thaller, an astrophysicist with the Goddard Space Flight Center. This virtual event will take place via Zoom. Meeting invitation will be provided prior to the event. Sponsored by Tompkins VIST Bank and Wealth Advisors.
