Hands-on astronomy
The Presolar Grain Workshop that gathers scientists who study tiny
bits of stars that were born and died billions of years ago — before
the formation of the solar system — is returning to Washington
University in St. Louis this year. Sessions begins at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 28, and continue through the weekend in Crow and Compton halls. Attendees
will include 45 astrophysicists from WUSTL’s Laboratory for Space
Sciences and other research institutions in the United States as well as from Australia, Brazil and Italy.
