Learn about the Moon\, constellations\, and the planets in our Solar System through telescopes and other fun activities. \n\n\n\nSkywatching will take place at Peach Road Park in Raleigh. This is an informal session\, so you can arrive and leave at any time during the program. However\, if you plan to attend\, we suggest bringing a blanket or chairs and some snacks so you can relax under the stars. \n\n\n\n\n\nWe ask that you leave all pets at home\, even those on a leash. Darkness\, lots of people\, expensive telescopes\, and pets are a bad combination. Pets will not be permitted near the telescopes. \n\n\n\nPlease note that this event is weather-dependent. In the event of a cancellation\, we will provide updates on our website and social media. \n\n\n\n\nLearn more about skywatching events\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nÚnase al Planetario Morehead\, Parques de Raleigh\, el Club de Astronomía de Raleigh y Consulado General de México para un evento especial de observación del cielo en la Noche Internacional de Observación de la Luna. Aprende sobre la Luna\, las constelaciones y los planetas de nuestro Sistema Solar a través de telescopios y otras actividades divertidas.  \n\n\n\nLa observación del cielo se llevará a cabo en Peach Road Park en Raleigh. Esta es una sesión informal\, por lo que puede llegar y salir en cualquier momento durante el programa. Sin embargo\, si planea asistir\, te sugerimos traer una manta o sillas y algunos bocadillos para que puedas relajarte bajo las estrellas.  \n\n\n\n\n\nLe pedimos que deje a todas las mascotas en casa\, incluso a las que llevan correa. La oscuridad\, mucha gente\, los telescopios caros y las mascotas son una mala combinación. No se permitirán mascotas cerca de los telescopios.  \n\n\n\nTenga en cuenta que este evento depende del clima. En caso de cancelación\, proporcionaremos actualizaciones en nuestro sitio web y redes sociales.  \n\n\n\n\nAprende más sobre observaciones del cielo URL:https://moreheadplanetarium.org/calendar/international-observe-the-moon-night/ LOCATION:Peach Road Cultural Center\, 911 Ileagnes Rd\, Raleigh\, North Carolina\, 27603\, United States CATEGORIES:Teen And Adult Programs,Youth Programs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://moreheadplanetarium.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/ESPANOL-scaled.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251005T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251005T143000 DTSTAMP:20260428T130755 CREATED:20250808T145208Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250808T145208Z UID:36590-1759671000-1759674600@moreheadplanetarium.org SUMMARY:We Are Stars DESCRIPTION: URL:https://moreheadplanetarium.org/calendar/we-are-stars-186/ CATEGORIES:Planetarium Shows END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251007T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251007T190000 DTSTAMP:20260428T130755 CREATED:20250923T173326Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250924T140317Z UID:37009-1759860000-1759863600@moreheadplanetarium.org SUMMARY:Carolina Science Cafe: Stellar Evolution\, Interrupted DESCRIPTION:Stellar Evolution\, Interrupted\n\n\n\n\n\n(Credit: Stocktrek Images/Getty Images)\n\n\n\n\nOpen up any introductory astronomy textbook\, and you can read about how stars like the Sun evolve from one stage of stellar evolution to the next. However\, these textbook descriptions often overlook one important fact: most stars are in binary systems with other stellar or substellar companions\, and their presence can greatly impact how the story of stellar evolution plays out. \n\n\n\nIn October’s Carolina Science Cafe\, Dr. Brad Barlow\, an Associate Professor of Physics & Astronomy at UNC-Chapel Hill\, will discuss how his research group uses data from ground- and space-based observatories to discover and characterize special types of stars called hot subdwarfs that are the products of binary interactions. The broader impacts of this work touch on gravitational wave physics\, Type Ia supernovae\, the impact of late-stage stellar evolution on exoplanets\, and more. \n\n\n\n\n\nDesigned for adults\, Carolina Science Cafe explores science topics making national and international headlines and offers the chance to meet the experts behind the work. This special program is hosted at Haw River Tap & Table in Carrboro on the first Tuesday of every month. Light appetizers are available for all attendees. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\n\n\nDr. Brad Barlow (he/him) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Before that\, he spent 11 years working as an Associate Professor of Astrophysics and Director of the Culp Planetarium at High Point University. Dr. Barlow received a B.S. in physics from Mississippi State University in 2006\, a Ph.D. in physics (astronomy concentration) from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2011\, and he was a postdoctoral researcher at the Pennsylvania State University from 2011-2013. \n\n\n\nHis research primarily focuses on pulsating stars\, late stellar evolution\, and binary star systems. While at UNC-Chapel Hill\, he helped develop software for the Goodman spectrograph on the 4.1-m SOAR telescope on Cerro Pachon in Chile. Originally from Biloxi\, Mississippi\, Brad did his undergraduate studies at Mississippi State University. His other interests include playing the piano\, writing music\, cycling\, and public outreach. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nView Dr. Barlow’s Work\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCarolina Science Cafe is produced by Morehead Planetarium and Science Center and sponsored by the UNC Chapter of Sigma Xi. \n\n\n\nYou do not need to register…just show up!
