Northern Nevada Lecturer Mike Thomas has rescheduled his “Future War” presentation for Saturday, March 9 at Western Nevada College’s Jack C. Davis Observatory in Carson City. Friday will feature a discussion on "Myths and Legends."
Thomas is a well-known lecturer who gives insightful talks on history and science. He gives an average of 15 lectures a month for service clubs, restaurants, conventions, and private groups. He is the past president of the Western Nevada Astronomical Society and regularly lectures at the Jack C. Davis Observatory.
Thomas originally planned the lecture last month, but a snowstorm postponed it. In the 6:30 p.m. Saturday lecture Thomas will project what war might look like in the future.
Thomas is also scheduled to provide a lecture on Friday, March 8 at 6:30 p.m. The slideshow and lecture continues a fascinating examination of myths and legends. Guests will learn about the validity of many popular beliefs and how to determine fact from fantasy.
Both lectures are free and doors to the observatory open at 6 p.m.
On Saturday nights when lectures aren’t scheduled, the observatory is open to the public from sundown to 11 p.m. At this time, the Western Nevada Astronomical Society hosts Star Parties, bringing together people with an interest in astronomy. Newcomers are always welcome.
The observatory is located at 2699 Van Patten Drive in Carson City.
