Bring any questions you have on how to best access TAAA information. \n7:30 pm – Main Presentation\nTitle:  A Tale of Two Galaxies\nSpeaker:  Dr. Knut Olsen is a staff astronomer at the National Science Foundation’s Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory\,  based in Tucson.  Born in Norway\, he moved to the U.S. at a young age and quickly developed a fascination for astronomy.  He worked on the Magellanic Clouds as part of his Ph.D. thesis\, and continued his exploration of them while living and working in La Serena\, Chile\, where the Clouds are naked eye objects.  He moved to Tucson in 2007. \nDr. Olsen will present a personal story of how a chance observing run kicked off more than a decade of exploration of and discovery in the Magellanic Clouds\, two of our most prominent neighbor galaxies.  The Magellanic Clouds have been key to establishing the extragalactic distance scale\, played a seminal role in the discovery of Dark Energy\, and are causing us to adjust our view of the Milky Way.
