What's a supernova?

Three events are planned this spring at the Ohio Northern University Observatory, according to Dr. Jason Pinkney, of the Department of Physics and Astronomy.  They follow:

  • Friday, Mar 29, 9 - 11 p.m., "Supernovae and their remnants"
  • Friday, Apr 5, 9 - 11 p.m., "Galaxies of Spring"
  • Friday, May 3, 9 - 11 p.m., "Eta Aquarid Meteors"

As these events are subject to clear skies, be aware any of these events could be cancelled due to weather conditions. Any cancellation will be posted by 2:30 p.m. on the day of the event, on the observatory website.
