The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is holding its first-ever Virtual Astronomy Live on Friday, April 24 from 2–3:30pm. This event commemorates 30 years of the Hubble Space Telescope, the first major optical telescope to be launched into space.
Your guides make up (a-hem) a star-studded lineup: Among the attendees are former astronaut and NASA chief General Charles F. Bolden Jr, former astronaut Professor Mike Massimino, engineer and former astronaut Nicole Stott, astrophysicist Frank Summers and others. Virtual Astronomy Live will be led by Summer Ash, a rocket scientist and astrophysicist, and Summer Ash, and John “Das” Galloway, creator of the Kerbal Space Academy and host for NASASpaceflight.com.
