Astronomy Night is our flagship Astronomy event for teens aged 11-15 and instructed by the UCR Astronomy Outreach Team which consists of Dr. Xinnan Du and graduate students Garett Lopez, Evan Oculam, Rudy Garcia, Bayu Wilson and Franco Iglesias. Astronomy Night explores the natural science and laws of the stars looking at celestial objects and phenomena. Emphasis is placed on mathematics, physics, and chemistry in order to explain their origin and evolution. Objects of interest include planets, moons, stars, nebulae, galaxies, and comets. The teens interact with experts in the field and get to experience cutting edge technology. We have a collaboration with NASA on curriculum and place emphasis on essential skill development in our interactions with the teens.
