Dr. Logan Pearce uses ten stars as guideposts to explore the history and future of the universe. Through this lens, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of cosmic evolution before heading outside to view related stars and constellations. Participants will also receive take-home infographics to continue their exploration.
Dr. Logan Pearce is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Michigan with a PhD from the University of Arizona. Dr. Pearce’s work focuses on the detection and characterization of exoplanets, particularly advancing observing techniques for hard-to-detect planets and those orbiting white dwarf stars. She will be conducting a variety of constellation tours, moon viewings, and public programs on topics including planets, aliens, and dark skies. Dr. Pearce also plans to produce infographics and graphic designs advocating for the preservation of dark skies.
