Herschel telescope photographs to highlight the upcoming MHCC Planetarium show
The Advocate
"The Universe in Infrared" will be open to audiences Monday in the MHCC planetarium at 7 and 8:15 p.m.
The hour-long showings are free for students and $2 for the public.
The show will highlight "things that are invisible with a normal telescope," said planetarium director Pat Hanrahan.
Hanrahan said infrared telescopes are relatively new, only being around for about 20 years.
"I get to put together things I find interesting myself," he said
Photographs taken from the Herschel telescope will be shown and the birth of stars will be one of the topics reviewed.
"How stars are born is not nearly as simple as you would think. It's a complicated process," said Hanrahan. He encourages the crowd to ask questions.
