'Planetary Atmospheres' | Monthly Meeting | East Brunswick Astronomy Club

Join Mind to Matter, a student-led nonprofit based in East Brunswick, for an exploration about the atmosphere of different planets. Learn all about what makes a planet habitable and how unique Earth is compared to other planets through hands-on experimentation. From using marshmallows and syringes to chemicals used in household baking, attendees will be able to recreate conditions on other planets to explore how life is affected. 

This program will also include opportunities to conduct experiments about pressure, organic matter on other planets, and the effects of gas giant clouds. Mind to Matter's goal is to promote scientific curiosity in youth through hands-on learning. Through this program, children will get to learn through asking questions while being introduced to science beyond Earth.

At the conclusion of the presentation and hands-on projects, attendees are invited to gather outside and observe the sky through available telescopes. Please feel free to bring your own telescope as well! East Brunswick Astronomy Club volunteers would be happy to help you set it up.

The East Brunswick Astronomy Club (EBAC) was founded with the mission of encouraging and promoting an interest in astronomy and space science throughout East Brunswick and beyond. EBAC meets once a month at the East Brunswick Public Library and meetings typically include a short lecture, open discussion, and telescope observing.

This group is open to adults, teens, and families with children ages 12 and younger.
