SUMMARY:The Many Colors of Galaxies: YOU Can Help NASA Decode the Cosmos
DESCRIPTION:How do galaxies grow and change over time\, and how can we tell from just a few lines of light? \nWe are pleased to host Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) astrophysicist and PhD candidate Sadie Coffin for an engaging presentation on galaxy evolution and participatory science.Coffin will explain how the unique lines in galaxy spectra serve as records of the Universe’s history\, acting as a cosmic time machine to track how distant galaxies interact\, evolve\, and form stars over deep time. By analyzing these spectral features\, astronomers can decode the complex properties of entire galaxy systems. \nHer doctoral research bridges the gap between complex galaxy spectroscopy and public participatory science through Redshift Wrangler\, a NASA-funded project she designed and leads.“By collaborating with volunteers to analyze galaxy light\, we are making astronomical research more open and accessible\,” says Coffin. “Projects like Redshift Wrangler prove that big-science discoveries don’t have to stay locked away in academic labs.”The presentation will explore how combining professional astronomical research with volunteer classifications helps map the cosmos\, illustrating why astronomers rely on this collaboration to accelerate major discoveries in astronomy—and how anyone can get involved. \nSadie Coffin is a fifth-year PhD candidate in Astrophysical Sciences and Technology at RIT\, where she studies galaxy evolution. A dedicated science communicator\, Coffin frequently leads community outreach events and is a recipient of the prestigious NASA Future Investigators (FINESST) award\, as well as a former NASA/AAPS Citizen Science Leaders Series Fellow. \nThis interactive session will be broadcast on our big screen at the Martz-Kohl Observatory and is also available to join online via Zoom. We encourage you to join us in person at the observatory to virtually meet our speaker and participate in our always-lively Q&A session following the talk. If the weather permits\, we will conclude the evening with guided tours and viewing opportunities through our premier telescopes. Please remember to dress for the elements; while our classroom is heated for your comfort\, the observatory domes are not.

SUMMARY:Open Observatory Night
DESCRIPTION:At 7:30 the Martz-Kohl Observatories will be open to visitors. \nYou are welcome to tour the facility and view through several available telescopes\, weather permitting.  The observatory houses multiple telescopes to use for viewing celestial objects in the night sky.  The Kohl Telescope is a 20-inch classical Cassegrain reflecting telescope that was built by DFM Engineering in Colorado.  Also available for viewing\, located in the roll-off roof area of the observatory\, is a mounted 12-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector telescope.  The Cassegrain reflector telescopes use a combination of the primary concave mirror and a secondary convex mirror.  Guests are also welcome to bring in their own telescopes to set up on the roll off roof area of the observatory\, weather permitting. \nWhen planning a visit to the observatory\, it is best to have seasonal attire on hand as the domes which house the telescopes\, as well as the roll-off roof area of the observatory\, are not heated.  \nThe observatory is located at 176 Robbins Hill Rd.\, Frewsburg\, NY.  The Martz-Kohl Observatory is an all-volunteer\, non-profit association [501(c)3] and does not charge for admission.  A non-member donation of $5.00 per adult and $2.00 per child or student is appreciated. \nThe Martz-Kohl Observatory houses one of the largest public robotic telescopes in the Northeastern United States.  On Open Observatory nights\, the public is welcome to come and tour the facility.  If the evening sky is clear\, the telescopes will be used to view the celestial sphere.  The observatory can be contacted at (716) 569-3689.  More information can be accessed at the observatory web site\, martzobservatory.org. \nAbout Martz-Kohl Observatory: \nThe Marshal Martz Memorial Astronomical Association\, Inc. is a non-profit organization devoted to the amateur astronomer. The emphasis of the association is observational astronomy\, well-rooted in public education and enjoyment of the starry skies.
