SUMMARY:The University of Arizona: Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab Tour
DESCRIPTION:Explore the cutting-edge of astronomical innovation on this 90-minute guided tour of the Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab at the University of Arizona. Learn how pioneering engineering\, optical science\, and precision manufacturing come together to create the world’s largest and most advanced telescope mirrors—each 8.4 meters (27 feet) in diameter. \nLocated beneath the U of A’s football stadium\, the Mirror Lab is the birthplace of mirrors for the Giant Magellan Telescope\, a revolutionary new instrument with a 25-meter primary mirror composed of seven of our 8.4-meter segments. This next generation of telescopes will transform astronomy—probing the early universe\, revealing the formation of the first stars\, and potentially detecting signs of life on distant exoplanets. \nThe tour begins at the historic Steward Observatory\, U of A’s first research department\, established in 1917. After an introductory presentation in our iconic white-brick dome\, we’ll walk to the Mirror Lab for an up-close look at the unique processes involved—from melting glass to precision polishing and optical testing. \nJoin us and discover how the University of Arizona is shaping the future of space exploration and astronomical discovery.

SUMMARY:Arizona State Parks & Trails: A Passion for Backpacking: An Evening of Storytelling with Dick Mallery at Lost Dutchman State Park
DESCRIPTION:Come be entertained by Dick Mallery telling stories about his adventures along the hiking trails of America. He’s hiked 3\,200 miles from Mexico to Canada on the Continental Divide\, plus several shorter trails\, including the 600 mile Great Divide Trail and 800 mile Arizona Trail. At age 70\, he completed the 2\,650 mile Pacific Crest Trail\, which was the highlight of all his hiking trips. \nDick and his wife Gaila published The Dick E. Bird News\, a monthly newspaper about nature—human and otherwise. They have also published several books: Birdfeeding 101\, Nuts About Squirrels\, Crossing the Divide\, Ramblings and Packtoter’s Thru-hiking Planner. \nThis program is free with park admission or camping and is open to all ages. It will be a seated talk at our Palo Verde Ramada. \n
