RippleMatters

RippleMatters fosters community engagement through educational events like astronomy nights, promoting curiosity about the universe and inspiring lifelong learning in science and exploration.

🎉 Excitement is in the air! Get ready to be part of the RippleMatters&#39;s free fall astronomy event. It&#39;s an event like no other, and we want you to be there! 🎉 Earth is not the only place in the universe. &nbsp;Learn about what lives in the skies!&nbsp;The moon is the closest celestial object to earth and humans walked on it 50 years ago. Beyond the moon we take a big jump to other planets such as Saturn which is 4000 times more distant than our moon. Huygens landed on its moon, Titan, on January 14, 2005. Beyond this we take another huge jump to arrive at a few double stars that are hundreds of light years away. We will never be able to travel this far, but we can get close by using a large telescope (150x magnification)!
