SUMMARY:The Solar System Zoo: a lecture with UPENN Professor Gary Bernstein
DESCRIPTION:Discover the many fascinating members of our Solar System\, how numerous small planets were found\, and how they formed alongside the Sun.\n\n\nLearn why the question “How many planets are there?” is more complicated than it seems in this fun and informative presentation. \n \nProfessor Bernstein’s research centers on extracting gems of astronomical knowledge from large piles of astronomical images. Currently his group is pursuing two main science projects with the ~100\,000 sky exposures of the Dark Energy Survey. \nGravitational lensing is the deflection of light by gravity as predicted by General Relativity. These deflections can cause dramatic distortions of background objects\, or subtle changes in shape known as weak lensing. By measuring statistical correlations among the shapes of hundreds of millions of galaxies in the DES\, we can measure the properties of dark matter and dark energy\, which do not emit or absorb any light of their own. \nProfessor Bernstein and collaborators are also searching the DES images for solar system members orbiting beyond Neptune\, a.k.a. trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). These thousands of small icy bodies are remnants of the early phases of the formation of our Solar System and give clues to the dramatic rearrangements of the giant planets that occurred early on.

SUMMARY:Let's Get Growing: Neighborhood Gardens Trust
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with the Neighborhood Gardens Trust\, Philadelphia’s neighborhood garden protector.\n\n\nAs the city’s largest land trust dedicated to preserving community gardens and shared open spaces\, NGT has safeguarded a network of more than 58 spaces where neighbors grow food\, flowers\, and lasting connections. Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year\, NGT holds land in perpetuity—ensuring that community-managed green spaces remain vibrant\, accessible\, and protected for Philadelphians. \nHear directly from NGT’s Executive Director and Stewardship Manager as they share stories from the field. Learn how they collaborate with self-organized groups of gardeners\, community organizations\, property owners\, the City of Philadelphia\, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to secure and steward these essential neighborhood spaces. \nThis session will explore how locally managed gardens contribute to community resilience and health—and what it takes to secure and sustain these spaces for future generations. \nThis event will take place in the Heim Center\, Room 131/132 on the first floor of Parkway Central Library.
