Join the Adirondack Sky Center & Observatory for a special Zoom lecture with St. Lawrence University astronomer Jeffrey Miller.

As technology advances, it brings new challenges for astronomers. From cell phones and Wi-Fi routers to orbiting satellites, human-created signals increasingly interfere with radio astronomy. Dr. Miller will explore how satellite constellations and other technologies impact astronomical research, what this means for our understanding of the universe, and the steps scientists are taking to preserve the night sky for future discovery.

This engaging talk is free and open to the public. Pre-registration is required to receive the Zoom link.
