INTERDISCIPLINARY STEM SEMINAR SERIES
(Science Technology Engineering Math)
An Eccentric Theory of Solar System Formation
Speaker: Dr. Sam Kaplan
Monday, Nov. 12, 4:30 pm Reuter Center, Room 206
The classic model for how solar systems arise from stellar gasses predicts that other solar systems should look like ours - large gaseous outer planets, small rocky inner planets, with all going around the sun in roughly circular orbits.
Recent advances in astronomy have led to cataloging planets in other solar systems (exoplanets). These appear to have a wide range of eccentricities, from elongated ellipses to circular orbits.
This fact has required astronomers (and mathematicians) to reexamine the standard model for solar system formation to address the many non-circular orbits that abound.

POETRY READING and book signing
Perien Gray, Theo Sable and Joan Weiner
Friday, November 30, 4:30 to 5:30pm - Room 206
Three poets reflect on the human condition, each with her own take on love and loss, the passing years, life's absurdities and its fundamental truths. We turn to poetry for insight into our unanswerable questions about life and death and to express and validate the joys and sorrows we all share. Please join us!
Perien and Theo will have their books available for purchase and signing following the reading. (Not a bad idea for holiday gifts!)
For more information call Perien at 484-9187.
