SkyWatch on Friday, 12-Dec-2025, 7:30 to 10 PM

Dorothy Hanna, SAC President, will give a talk titled ‘Deep Space Chemistry’.  Come and listen to Dorothy describe how each new detection brings us closer to understanding the origins of complex organic chemistry in the universe — and perhaps, the origins of the building blocks of life themselves.

Location: Rm 229, Peters Science Hall, KWU, 4^th & Cloud and the KWU Observatory on the 5^th Floor.

Times: Talk - 7:30 to 8:15 pm; Time after talk for Q&A.  Light Refreshments after talk.  Celestial observing in the KWU observatory from 8:30 to 10 pm, weather-permitting.  If too cloudy, then we will offer observatory tour to interested attendees.  ALL are welcome to our FREE program.
