Thanks to everyone who attended tonight's Open House! Tonight we discussed properties of galaxies and how we classify them.

We also brought up Galaxy Zoo, which is a science project where people have the opportunity to help sort galaxies. We also brought up how we are using artificial intelligence to teach computers to classify galaxies. We talked about what AGNs are and why they are so unique and what the goals are of studying galaxies.
Later, we were able to look at beautiful pictures of galaxies and tour the Observatory.

Thanks again and we hope to see you at the next one (December 6th!!).
