Explore Ann Arbor’s astronomy history at OLLI’s fall kickoff, featuring a look at 19th-century asteroid discoveries and the rise of the Detroit Observatory. Astronomer Austin Edmister will share how new technology and a growing interest in the night sky helped put U-M at the center of early astronomical research. The event is free and open to the public, with refreshments included.
