In 2009, in collaboration with the Eberly College of Arts and Science, the Physics Department, and the WV NASA Space Grant Coorporation, we will be hosting a series of public lectures to mark the International Year of Astronomy.
Our next lecture will be on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 at 7:30 in 259 Hodges Hall. Jason Best, professor of astronomy and astrophysics and director of the Institute for Environmental Studies, Shepherd University, will be discussing the Cosmology of the Renaissance and the Renaissance of Cosmology, a history of various theories of the nature of the Universe created over the past four hundred years.
