August 20, 2026We are the first generation to see the Universe in all
wavelengths of the spectrum. Within the last decade, we
opened new ways to see the Cosmos using waves of gravity.
I will show new images taken with our best telescopes such
as the Hubble (HST), the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST),
and the Atacama Larger Millimeter Array (ALMA). I will
discuss how “multi-messenger” astronomy is changing
our understanding of cosmic structure and evolution,
and the birth of galaxies, stars, and planets.First Evangelical Lutheran Church803 Third AvenueLongmont, CO 80501 -
