NASA selected MiraCosta as the only location in California south of Santa Barbara to unveil new mural-sized prints of the spiral galaxy Messier 101 from NASA’s Great Observatories: the Hubble Space Telescope, Spitzer Space Telescope, and the Chandra X-ray Observatory.
In recognition of the 400th anniversary of the astronomical telescope, the United Nations designated 2009 the International Year of Astronomy. Be there when Dr. Michelle Thaller from the Spitzer Science Center helps MiraCosta unveil the spectacular images in honor of IYA09.
A stargazing party will follow (weather-permitting).
Free and open to the public.
