Immersed in Wonder
Aileen O’Donoghue, Pulpit Guest
In my work as both a research astronomer and a teacher, I spend every day exploring the wonders of our universe. From engaging my students in the appearance, motions, and origins of the Sun, Moon, stars, and our beautiful Earth to observing the glow of galaxies hundreds of millions of light years away, every day I get to be amazed. The very existence of the universe and of our ability to perceive and analyze it fills me with an awe that makes my spirit soar. I will share some of my awe and invite everyone to soar with me.
