Science Unwrapped: Chronological Order
Special Event | Science Unwrapped
Inquiring minds of all ages are invited to Science Unwrapped, the free, public outreach program of USU's College of Science. Featured speaker is USU geoscientist Evey Gannaway Dalton, who presents, "Chronological Order: Telling Time with Utah's Fossil Record," as part of our "Building on Basics" series. Refreshments and hands-on learning activities follow the talk.
USU Observatory Public Viewing Night
Special Event
Astronomy enthusiasts of all ages are invited to view the night sky through the USU Observatory telescope. Admission is free. IMPORTANT NOTE: Please check the observatory website at observatory.usu.edu prior to arrival on the public night, as the gathering will be cancelled in the event of cloudy or inclement weather. The website also provides directions and parking information.
Annular Solar Eclipse Observation
Special Event
USU's College of Science invites all ages to join in a safe observation of the Annular Solar Eclipse, outside on the USU Quad, on Saturday morning, October 14, 2023. Cache Valley will experience a partial eclipse (80 percent) , beginning at about 9:10 a.m., reaching maximum at about 10:30 a.m., and ending shortly before noon. Join Aggie Scientists, and other USU scholars, in learning about this phenomenon, and learning how to observe it safely. Rule #1: NEVER look directly at the Sun in any conditions, to avoid eye and sight damage. We will gather on the Quad and discuss how to observe the event safely (with backs to the Sun) using special pinhole postcards to be distributed on the day. We'll also talk about what the eclipse is and other related topics. Admission is free.

Documentary Screening - Ultimate Weapon: The H-Bomb Dilemma
Special Event
All are invited to a free screening of the independent documentary, "Ultimate Weapon: The H-Bomb Dilemma" at 6 pm in Room FAV 262 (Fine Arts Visual Building) on the USU Logan campus. The 45-minute film, which debuted on The History Channel in August 2000, explores the secret late-1940s/early-1950s debate on the decision to build the H-bomb. It features declassified information from the Los Alamos National Laboratory archives, along with other sources. The film was written by Peter Galison, Pellegrino University Professor of the History of Science and of Physics at Harvard University. Galison is the keynote speaker for the October 20-21, 2023 Four Corners Regional Meeting of the American Physical Society, which will be held in Logan, Utah. The public may access Galison's keynote address, set for Friday evening, Oct. 20, via Zoom. For the address time and a Zoom link, call 435-797-2857.
