SUMMARY:Astronomy Days 2026
DESCRIPTION:SECU Daily Planet Theater – NRC 1-3\n\n\n\n11am\nDr. Dan Caton \nAppalachian State University \n\n\nLight Pollution: an Update on the Threat to Lose the Night Sky\nJoin us for an update on the increasing threat of losing the dark night sky due to satellite constellations\, including BlueWalker and Reflect Orbital. Learn what the new Campus SHINE program is doing to assess and improve campus lighting. \n\n\n\n\n\n12:30pm\nDr. Rachel Smith \nHead\, Astronomy & Astrophysics Research Lab and Curator of Meteorites\, NC Museum of Natural Sciences \nProfessor\, Appalachian State University \n\n\nLife and the Moon\nOur Moon has been a source of human inspiration and adventure throughout history. The Moon is also a critical part of what keeps our planet habitable — unique among planets in the solar system. We will tap into the scientific and cultural influences of our Moon on the evolution of life and human endeavors that spur our species forward and how it continues to shape our connections to the cosmos. \n\n\n\n\n\n2pm\nGreg Sloan \nSpace Telescope Science Institute \n\n\nHow the James Webb Space Telescope is revolutionizing astronomy\, even if it can’t look at the Moon\nThe James Webb Space Telescope can see deeper into space and in more detail than any other telescope and it’s changing our view on how galaxies\, stars and planets form — but it can’t look at the Moon. Find out how and why! \n\n\n\n\n\n3:30pm\nDoug Lively\, Michael Keefe\, Alan Rich \nNASA/JPL Solar System Ambassadors \n\n\nNASA Is Returning to the Moon—Are You Ready for Artemis?\nJoin us for an inspiring panel discussion on NASA’s Artemis mission\, humanity’s bold return to the Moon!

They didn’t have a space program\, but we do! What are we doing to avoid the same fate? Join to learn the answer to this question. \n\n\n\n\n\n2pm\nTony Verdone \nNASA/JPL Solar System Ambassador\, Raleigh Astronomy Club \n\n\nWatching Blue Whales from Space!\nBlue whales are the largest creatures to have ever lived on Earth and are endangered.
