Observing Variable Stars from Space

​Investigate the brightness variations of stars with Joyce Guzik as she discusses her research using data from the NASA TESS spacecraft & Austria-Poland-Canada BRITE Constellation satellites. The stars Dr. Guzik studied are younger & more massive than the Sun, but like the Sun, they fuse hydrogen into helium in their cores. Come & listen to Dr. Guzik explain the questions that her research hopes to answer, & see the light curves & stellar pulsation frequencies! Presented by the Pajarito Environmental Education Center.

Supercomputing Challenge

"Supercomputing Challenge students have spent the past year working on computational projects of their design.  Rather than canceling the Expo presentations that are normally done in person at Los Alamos National Labs, the Challenge will pioneer an online alternative to our annual Expo on April 27th by moving student final presentations, judging and an award ceremony to a virtual platform. 
The Supercomputing Challenge is open to New Mexico middle-schools and high-school students, including home-schooled students.  Students work in teams and follow their own interests to choose a topic to computationally model. Any interested new students wanting to be involved next year can make plans to start next academic year."
