*How rotation, revolution, and perturbation conspire to keep things interesting.*
Isn’t the Moon always the same? *NO*! The moon is much more dynamic than most give it credit for. To the layperson it can be easy to take the Moon for granted, for the astronomer it can be easy to ignore the Moon entirely, as it can obscure “more interesting” objects. In this presentation, Jeff Macleod will unravel all these subtle details, dispelling many common misconceptions and illusions involving the Moon as well as explaining experiments and observations you can make at home.
Jeff MacLeod has a Bachelors in Physics and Astronomy from Wayne State University. He is a former president of the Warren Astronomical Society, the best astronomy club in Michigan (his words). During his time at Wayne State he was active with their astronomy club as well as a presenter at the Wayne State Planetarium. Jeff is also a Solar System Ambassador with NASA JPL and loves sharing astronomy and spaceflight history with the public.
DPL continues partnering with WSU's planetarium on these talks related to astronomy.
Zoom link will be sent to registrants before program.
This program will be recorded and will be available on the DPL YouTube astronomy channel: https://bit.ly/DPLAstronomy
