Saturday Night Terence Dickinson Memorial Presentation, sponsored by Khan Scope Centre

We are pleased to sponsor the esteemed
Dr. Sara Seager (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Planetary Atmospheres and the Search for Signs of Life Beyond Earth.
At STARFEST 2024 being held in Mount Forest, Ontario Canada this year by the North York Astronomical Association.

For thousands of years, inspired by the star-filled dark night sky, people have wondered what lies beyond Earth. Today, the search for signs of life is a key motivator in exoplanet research. With exquisite data from the successfully operational James Webb Space Telescope, we are now confronted with new, practical challenges of tiny signals, unknown exoplanet environments, and host star contamination. Our pace and history of milestone discovery in exoplanets in the last quarter century, combined with new telescope paradigms, promises to eventually deliver on finding signs of life beyond Earth.
Professor Sara Seager is a Canadian-American astrophysicist and planetary scientist. Born and raised in Toronto, she is a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Seager's work focuses on exoplanet atmospheres and methods for detecting signs of extraterrestrial life. She has significantly contributed to the field of exoplanet research, particularly in theoretical modeling of atmospheric composition and the development of novel methods for exoplanet detection. She was the Deputy Science Director of the MIT-led NASA Explorer-class mission TESS; PI of the JPL-MIT CubeSat ASTERIA; and a lead of the Starshade mission concepts. She also focuses on missions to Venus. Her innovative approaches have earned her numerous awards and recognition including a MacArthur Fellowship, membership in the US National Academy of Sciences, an appointment as an Officer of the Order of Canada, the Royal Canadian Geographical Society Gold Medal, and she has Asteroid 9729 named in her honor. Professor Seager is the RASC Honorary President and is author of, “The Smallest Lights in the Universe: A Memoir.”

Why shop at Khan Scopes ? Let our customers tell you :

From Mehrzad Mehrvaz March 24 2024

Today, I purchased a Seestar S50 telescope from Khan Scope in Toronto, and I couldn't be happier with my experience!

From the moment I walked into the store, I was greeted with warm smiles and friendly faces. Mr. Khan, the owner of the store, took the time to personally assist me and provide valuable explanations about the telescope. His knowledge and expertise were evident, and I appreciated the tips he shared to enhance my stargazing experience.

The staff at Khan Scope were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, from helping me choose the right telescope for my needs to ensuring that I had all the necessary accessories. They went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with my purchase and felt confident using my new telescope.

Overall, I highly recommend Khan Scope to anyone in the Toronto area looking for quality telescopes and exceptional customer service. Thank you to Mr. Khan and the entire team for making my shopping experience enjoyable and informative!

P.S. they offer certified eclipse glasses made in Germany & USA for the eclipse of April 8, 2024 (delivered within 24 hours)

Happy stargazing!
