Armchair Astrophysics, Volume 2

Quyen Hart, Space Telescope Science Institute

Pull up a chair, get comfortable, and look all around you. Can you spot some familiar objects or common phenomena that can be connected to a topic in astrophysics? Some of your everyday experiences can be explained using some basic physics concepts and some of our cosmic observations have analogs in what we see around us.

Join us to explore the physics of familiar phenomena and learn where the same physics is working “out there” in the cosmos. Discover what you and the universe have in common. Armchairs are not required, but highly recommended.
