Lynne Stark
Lynne Elisabeth Stark received her PhD in the history of science from UCSB. She specializes in translating the language of science for the non-scientific audience. She has been teaching in the department of physics at SBCC for 25 years. She also teaches observational astronomy in the planetarium at the Museum of Natural History.
Prior to her return to graduate school, she was an astrological counselor and teacher. She believes that a true understanding of the universe requires both analysis and intuition. This is not her first time speaking in such an alternative venue and she hopes her presentation will resonate with the lucid listener.

A Modern Creation Myth: The Luminous Birth (and Exotic Death) of Stars
Day: Sunday | Duration: 60 min. | Location: Fishbon University StageThe ancients thought the stars were immortal gods, guiding our lives from above. As recently as a century ago, scientists thought the universe was static and stars existed, unchanged, throughout eternity. Twentieth century advances in astronomy and physics have revealed a turbulent and dynamic universe. Stars are born. Stars die. From glowing stellar nurseries to violent black holes, it is this life cycle of stars that makes human life possible. In this presentation we will take a brief walk through time. We will look through the eyes of the Hubble telescope to divine the story of our own creation and ultimate fate. Required for all citizens of the cosmos.
