Speaker Alan Sailer presents Modern Meteorite Science
Space rocks are coming to Oxnard!
Alan Sailer joins us November 04 at 7:30pm at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center to unpack the science of meteorites where they come from, how we identify them, what they're made of, and the spacecraft exploring their parent bodies. Plus, he's bringing real samples to check out in person.
Free and open to all curious minds. Bring a friend who'd love this and make new ones!
Everyone who shows up Nov 04 gets to hold a piece of space. Everyone who doesn't just gets FOMO.
Class size limited to 8 people to maintain safety and quality instruction while keeping it a remarkable bargain.
It's a two step process to grab your seat in class:
