Celebrating 25 Years of the Hubble Space Telescope

In this presentation, Scowen will discuss the legacy of the Hubble Space Telescope with respect to what it has taught us about the formation  of stars and planets in our Galactic neighborhood. The resolution of Hubble has allowed us to see things moving over the 20-25 years of its mission lifetime. We'll discuss topics ranging from both the Eagle and Trifid nebulae to protostellar systems with protoplanetary disks.  Add to that the meteoritic element that reveals a smoking gun that the Sun formed in an environment like the Eagle Nebula.

Speaker: Paul Scowen, Arizona State University
