The presentation will focus on recent accomplishments in deep-space exploration, including the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Less well-known, but equally important, work of other observatories all also her described. One example is the discovery of over 5000 exoplanets (orbiting other stars) by the Keppler and newer Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite observatories. Still other space probes are yielding new insights about the Sun and planets in our own solar system. This presentation will highlight some of these most recent discoveries, and put them in the context of NASA's overall Space Science, Earth Science, and Aeronautics mission and budget.

From the start of the Top Secret Stealth Fighter Project, it was shrouded in secrecy. Few people knew of the project and even fewer were chosen to work on the special aircraft. As the project moved from testing to operational status, the public occasionally heard stories of strange aircraft that flew over the Nevada Desert only at night. These stories grew into myths. Even though some were true, others were complete science fiction.
Come hear about this special aircraft and sneak a peek behind the curtain of secrecy that to this day has surrounded the F-117A Nighthawk.

Georgia is one of the top states in the nation for solar power, but rooftop solar currently represents only 0.3% of the state's electricity generation. Why is this a great time for rooftop solar in Georgia? How can our whole community gain from rooftop solar deployment? This class will cover the ins and outs of rooftop solar. We will discuss the benefits of solar and how to take advantage of tax incentives in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. We will also discuss barriers to solar on low-income and multifamily housing--and ideas to overcome them.
