Gary Flandro spoke to the Space and Time class. He was the navigator and inspiration behind the Voyager project. Voyager was the first probe to visit and photograph the large outer planets. Read the article about his talk to our class. Geoff Marcy also spoke to the class via videoconference. Dr. Marcy's team has discovered over 120 planets around stars in our galaxy! His videoconference answered many questions that the students had about the techniques that his team uses to find planets. This is the second year that both men have talked to our class and I can't wait until next year! Check out the video tribute to Dr. Marcy, Dr. Flandro and the astronauts of Apollo 1. Marcy/Flandro video
(In the video you will see the men speaking to us and you will see photos of the work that they are doing). Here are clips of the two men actutually speaking to our class! Each clip is around five minutes, but it is worth the look. These were videoconferences so the quality is not perfect. Geoff Marcy. Gary Flandro.
