From the mountains to the coast, California’s strength lies in its people. When fires rage, we come together–neighbors helping neighbors, scientists advancing solutions, and communities rebuilding with resilience. Today, on #NationalCaliforniaDay, we celebrate our community!
How did our Solar System form over the last 5 billion years? How does our Solar System differ from the thousands of other planetary systems we have discovered around other stars? Join us for a 30-minute public lecture on July 25, followed by telescopes: outreach.astro.caltech.edu
