Upcoming Academic Year

Summer greetings! We hope you have been out enjoying nature and maybe catching up on some much needed down time. Our first speaker of the 2018/2019 Academic Year will blow your socks off....at least his talk on severe weather might!

We will continue our second Monday of each month, from 6:45 - 8:00 pm in a new location. The Red Rock Room at the Hub @ Hudson Mills has graciously agreed to host the Wolf Science Café and has a great space for us to learn new science and catch up with old friends. Our speakers will start promptly at 7:00 with talks ranging from 30 - 45 minutes, and follow up with questions.

Be on the lookout for our exciting line-up of topics and please remember to share and like us on Facebook/Instagram!

The Backyard Astronomer

Dr. John Hansen has been a chemistry professor at West Georgia for the last 21 years.   He has been an amateur astronomer for the past 40 years. While he was an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he studied planetary atmospheres using the 15.4 inch Clark refractor housed at the Washburn Observatory.  As a continuation of his activities in astronomy, he has obtained several telescopes that can be setup in the backyard. His primary interests include studying the planets Jupiter and Mars, as well as our neighborhood star the Sun.  During his presentation, he will share images he has taken with rather modest equipment and discuss how anyone with an interest looking upward can develop their own backyard panoramic experience. 


Join us at the Wolf Science Café on Monday, December 11 from 6:45 pm- 8:00 pm.
