Want to visit a cutting-edge radio science research facility right next door in Westford?  Join us before 1:00 PM at CBE if you are carpooling or at 1:30 at the Haystack Observatory if you plan to drive yourself.

We are limited to 30 attendees and we reached that limit when we were originally scheduled, so sign up, below, soon to secure your slot.

MIT’s Haystack Observatory high-powered staff and instruments are at the forefront of major advances fields like astronomy, space weather, geodesy, and space technology. One recent achievement was to play a key role in the imaging of the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy! 

CBE's Scientists in Synagogues and Adult Education groups combined to offer a very special tour of Haystack on the afternoon of Tuesday, June 17th. We are limited to the first 30 people that register below. 
 
People can gather in the Beth Elohim parking lot for car pools before 1:00 PM or head directly to Haystack in Westford at 1:30.  See HERE for the map and directions.  

The afternoon will begin with a 1:30 PM talk by a leading Haystack scientist about current research with time for questions and answers. Then we’ll put on hard hats and head into the 37-meter radio telescope’s radomes for a tour, followed by a visit to the correlator/supercomputer.  Afterwards, closer to 3:00 or 3:30PM those who wish can gather at Westford’s Burton’s Grill & Bar to discuss the day’s experiences.
