Upcoming Events

Exoplanets and Beyond
​Saturday, October 13th: 7pm
​Free event - Seating is limited, come early!
Location: Worthy Hop Mahal

​The Worthy Garden Club is proud to present the third chapter of our on-going series of Cosmic Chats with Dr. Scott Fisher, UO Physics Professor and Director of Pine Mountain Observatory.

In this two-pronged public-level presentation Dr. Fisher will talk about the biggest and most exciting astronomical discovery of our generation, exoplanets. In the last 15 years or so we've discovered over 3500 planets orbiting stars that are not the Sun. Even more amazing, astronomers now think that every star in the sky has - on average - one planets orbiting around it. This has completely changed our place in the Universe, Dr. Fisher will tell us how and why it is such a big deal.

In the second part of the hour long talk, Dr. Fisher will open up the floor to the audience for an always rousing game of "Stump the Astronomer!" So come prepared with your space and astronomy related questions ready and let's have a fun and interactive evening with one of our favorite local astronomers.

Two Simple Proofs of Global Warming:
The "smoking guns" that prove fossil fuels are warming the Earth.
Wednesday, October 24th: Doors open @6:30 lecture @7pm​
Free event - Seating is limited, come early!
Location: Worthy Hop Mahal

​Humans burning fossil fuels are responsible for 100% of the excess heat building up in our oceans and atmosphere, but half the people you know are ideologically preconditioned to reject that fact. Too much of its supporting evidence comes from sources they don't trust, and the sources they do trust provide them with an ample supply of alternative facts.

Fortunately, basic science has given us two "smoking guns" that provide the solid proof laying the blame squarely on fossil fuels. They are easy to understand, and no part of either proof is in any dispute. Here are your two talking points that will make you invincible in any global warming conversation.
