Thinkwalks and SF Natural History Series present:

A talk at the Randall Museum

Sky Phenomena

Joe Jordan will come back with new material after having really wowed and inspired us with his slides on this topic in 1997.

Joe will show pictures of all kinds of atmospheric phenomena, including rainbows, haloes, glories, aurorae, coronae, mirages, and the legendary (but real) “green flash.”  He’ll bring along some hands-on 3-D models (to go along with his descriptions and explanations) that might help us understand what causes some of these things, and where and when to watch for them.

Joe has recently focused his attention on the nature and science, and the technology and politics, behind clean energy (“sky power to the people”), and will regale us with some information and stories on all that, as an added treat.  The scientific basis for a big public-art sculpture idea will be part of this.

⭐ No need to RSVP—Just show up!
