Science Center will host a celebration of National Astronomy Day on

The
highlight of Astronomy Day will be a lecture by Cal Tech’s Dr. Jean
Paul Ampuero, a professor of seismology, who will present a lecture
on “Earth's Cocktail Party: Deciphering the Physics of Earthquakes
With Networks of Seismic Arrays.” Dr. Ampuero will survey recent
developments on the use of seismic arrays to provide unprecedented
imaging of the development, process, and effects of earthquakes. His
talk will focus on implications for our knowledge of how our planet
(and others) work. Dr. Ampuero’s lecture, in the Jim Cherry
