Next month’s club meeting will be hybrid–both in person at Bear Branch and online. Join us March 13th at 7:30 PM EDT.
Our March 13th meeting will feature Dr. Sarah Hörst, who is an Associate Professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Johns Hopkins University, working on understanding the formation and composition of planetary atmospheric hazes.
Speaker Bio: Dr. Hörst received a B.S. in Planetary Science and a B.S. in Literature from the California Institute of Technology in 2004 while studying Jupter’s moons Europa and Titan, then continuing on at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory analyzing images of Saturn from the Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) on the Cassini spacecraft. Dr. Hörst earned her PhD in 2011 from the University of Arizona, studying the chemistry occurring in Titan’s atmosphere at the University of Arizona’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory.
Lecture Title: “Toxic Titan”
Abstract: Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, is unique in our solar system. Below Titan’s thick organic haze layer, rivers of methane carve channels into an icy bedrock and flow into large hydrocarbons seas. Across the landscape, water ice mountains and extensive organic sand dune fields are simultaneously alien and reminiscent of Earth. Titan’s lake mottled surface and thick, organic rich atmosphere may be an ideal setting for life as we do not know it and there is certainly much yet to be learned about our own home from the study of Titan.
If you can’t make it, the meeting will be simulcast on Zoom. See the connection instructions below:
