"The Sun seems to shine each day with a steady, unchanging light, but our star is anything but calm. About every 11 years, the Sun undergoes a steady cycle of violent activity that has many effects on Earth. In this talk, we'll have a look at what causes solar variations & what effects they have, how we've figured out some of the Sun's secrets (including through eclipses, so we'll talk about those as well), & how we try to anticipate what it might do in the future.
Join Jeffery Hall, a solar astronomer & the Executive Director of Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, for an exploration into the strange behavior of our nearby star.
Star Talks are in partnership with Prescott Astronomy Club and presented with funding from the Friends of the Prescott Public Library. "

Mixing genres of video, performance, and drawing, Francisco González Castro’s work examines problems related to territorial borders, social inequalities, and bodily transgressions. The project title refers to German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s (1844-1900) existentialist quote that begins, “The body is a great intelligence,” (Thus Spoke Zarathustra, 1883), and infers that the human body and soul are one. This title is illuminated in Castro’s own artistic philosophy, which confronts the body, people who reject the body, and how the body is approached as subject and identity. Castro’s personal bodily transgressions and tests of endurance are vehicles for his discourse about geographic landscapes and political borders. It is within this integration of life-and-art, body-and-spirit, that we intend to immerse the audience in this physically ambitious and psychologically profound exhibition by Castro at Coconino Center for the Arts.
