Saturday, January 11, 2:00 pm – Navigating Our Milky Way Galaxy

by

Earth may be a pint-sized planet and the Sun just an average star, but the Milky Way galaxy is a major player within the cosmos. Astronomer William Waller, author of the new The Milky Way, An Insider’s Guide, will lead a journey through our home galaxy, as viewed both from dark-sky sanctuaries here on Earth and from space satellites that explore the outer limits of the solar system. The author talk and book signing will take place Saturday, January 11, beginning at 2 pm at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, 26 Oxford Street, Cambridge. Regular museum admission rates apply.
