Tim Gay, Professor of Physics
Lincoln East Rotary welcomed Timothy Gay as he talked about “News from Space.”  Tim said we usually look at the Universe with our eyes (visual eyes), but there are other ways to look at the Universe.
 
Tim touched on the following:  Ground based telescopes, Hubble, Chanhra, Webb, and Parker telescopes and the Mars Rover.
 
With Ground based telescopes have manned and unmanned space exploration.  96% of the Universe you don’t see.  80% is dark energy and only 4% is regular energy.
