Coffee Talk Series: Join us as Door Peninsula Astronomical Society members, Cory Gorski and Amanda Austin, offer a presentation on the Vera C. Rubin Observatory - a groundbreaking, ground-based observatory poised to capture its 'first light' in July 2025.  They will discuss the project's goals, the insights it hopes to achieve, and the technological advancements required - including the development and construction of the worlds largest digital camera capable of resolving images at an astounding 3.2 gigapixels.

If weather permits, they will offer safe solar (sun) viewing opportunities through a telescope after the presentation.

Located in Sturgeon Bay, the Door Peninsula Astronomical Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to sharing the wonders of the night sky with the local community.  Through our state of the art campus we offer telescope viewing nights, planetarium shows, monthly meetings, and other outreach events. 

Coffee is served at 10am with the presentation beginning at 10:30 followed by Q&A.
