Observatory Events

Save-the-date for these events

Welcome to the new Director of the Thomas More Observatory, Dr. Austin Hinkel

Dr. Hinkel joins us from Colorado College, and has his BS, MS, and PhD in Physics from the University of Kentucky.

Currently, Dr. Hinkel teaches courses in both physics and astronomy, and particularly enjoys connecting introductory physics concepts to the health sciences and sustainability. He studies the Milky Way Galaxy via large datasets like that of the Gaia Space Telescope, and also enjoys applying data science to other, more down-to-Earth topics.

Dr. Hinkel will be continuing the Astronomy Lecture Series in the Fall. Please come back to this site in August to see the upcoming schedule.
