The talk is part of the Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series at Foothill College, now in its 19th year.

When light from space enters the Earth’s atmosphere, it is distorted and displaced, something our eyes perceive as “twinkling.” A new technique, called adaptive optics, can remove a great deal of this distortion, essentially restoring much of the detail we’ve been robbed off in our view of the star and galaxies. Claire Max, a world-renowned pioneer in this technique, will show us how modern lasers allow her to do this very precisely. And she’ll show us how this is giving us sharper views of such cosmic events as the collision of nearby galaxies. Since such galaxies often have giant black holes in their centers, which can interact, adaptive optics allows us to gather new information about these mysterious objects as well.

Claire Max is the Bachmann Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and Director of the University of California Observatories (which include the well-known Lick and Keck Observatories.) She is Founder and former Director of the Center for Adaptive Optics, a science and technology center supported by the National Science Foundation. A member of the National Academy of Sciences, Max has won the Ernest Lawrence Award in physics, and the Joseph Weber award in astronomy. In addition to her scientific work, she is faculty liaison for Education and Public Outreach at Lick Observatory, a program that includes workshops for local middle and high school science teachers.

Foothill College is just off the El Monte Road exit from Freeway 280 in Los Altos.

Scientists and science enthusiasts are mourning the passing of Stephen Hawking, one of the great minds and spirits of our time. In this introductory, non-technical talk, Andrew Fraknoi will briefly summarize Hawking’s life, and talk about the importance of his scientific work. He’ll focus on Hawking’s work merging the world of the big and heavy (described by Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity) with the world of the small and light (described by quantum mechanics). Then he’ll describe how this merger led to the idea of mini black holes, “Hawking Radiation,” and the bizarre notion that black holes don’t have to be fully black. No background in science or math will be required, but be prepared to have your mind boggled.

Andrew Fraknoi retired from Foothill College in 2017. He still teaches occasional non-credit astronomy classes through the University of San Francisco Fromm Institute and San Francisco State’s OLLI program. Fraknoi was named Professor of the Year for the state of California in 2007 and appears from time to time on the radio explaining astronomy in everyday language. He is the lead author of a new, free, open-source, introductory astronomy textbook, published by OpenStax, and has written two children’s books on astronomy. Asteroid 4859 has been named Asteroid Fraknoi to honor his contributions to the public understanding of science.
