Friends of the Goodnow Library Hosted Astronomer Kevin Manning

On Sunday, May 19, 2019, the Friends of the Goodnow Library hosted Kevin Manning, award winning astronomer and former NASA consultant, who presented his program Astronomy for Everyone-Size and Scale of the Universe to a large audience of library patrons. The multi-media 1 ½ hour program explored the universe from the very small to the very large. The audience was able to look at matter from subatomic particles to superclusters of galaxies and the entire universe and take a virtual journey throughout the cosmos as Kevin described celestial objects and how they were formed as well as their relative sizes compared with each other. Truly exciting images and video segments served to bring the point home. ​
