The September Meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC) Sudbury Centre will be held at 7:00PM Friday November 6, online via Zoom. This meeting features Steve Holmes of KW-RASC and our very own Dr. Norm Hey
Agenda:
- Welcome: Sudbury RASC President – Alan Ward
- The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Civilizations – Steve Holmes, KW-RASC: The search for extra-terrestrial civilizations around other stars that are a staple of science-fiction, and detecting definitive signs of another civilization that would rank among the greatest discoveries in history. Are Extra-Terrestrial Civilizations rare, or plentiful? How can we estimate the probabilities? This presentation will present astronomical information that will help us to determine their numbers.
- Break (10min)
- PixInsight is EZ! – Dr Norm Hey: How some great folks have made the world’s widely used dedicated astro-imaging processing program now as easy as pushing 4 buttons!
