Mt.
Tam Star Programs Speaker: Dr. Alex Filippenko, University of California Berkeley Observations of very distant exploding stars (supernovae) show that the expansion of the Universe is now speeding up, rather than slowing down due to gravity as expected. Even if the day is hot, wear layers as it can chill down at night. And don’t forget your flashlights. Please car pool if at all possible. If there is any change in the program due to weather, it will be on the hot line: 415-455-5370 after 4:00pm. Directions: From Highway 101 take the Highway 1, Stinson Beach exit. At Tam Junction (the first stop light), turn left onto the Shoreline Highway (also called Highway 1). In about 2 miles turn right onto Panoramic Highway. In another 3/4 miles the road splits 3 ways. Take the middle fork. In about 5 miles the Pan Toll Ranger Station will be on your left. Turn right through the gates across the road from the station and continue for about another 1 1/2 miles to the Rock Springs parking area. For more information, go to www.mttam.net. Mt.
Tam Star Programs Speaker: Dr. Helen Quinn, SLAC-Stanford University How and when the imbalance of matter over antimatter developed is one of the great mysteries to unravel to understand the underlying properties of the universe.

Tam Star Programs Speaker: Kenneth Frank, Astronomical Society of the Pacific-Dark Sky Network
Saving our Dark Skies is a Global Problem. Find out how light pollution is measured and what you can do to understand and help preserve this natural resource locally. Even if the day is hot, wear layers as it can chill down at night. And don’t forget your flashlights. Please car pool if at all possible.

Tam Star Programs Speaker: Jim Brown, The Mars Society The ultimate development of a planet as a second home for Earth life is terraforming. Why is Mars the most productive next place to settle and how can it be terraformed. Even if the day is hot, wear layers as it can chill down at night. And don’t forget your flashlights.
