What Have Space Telescopes Told Us About the Universe?

On Tuesday, November 19, Dr. Willie Yee will present a program entitled “What Have Space Telescopes Told Us About the Universe”. The talk is being sponsored by the Mid-Hudson Astronomical Association and will be given at 8 PM at SUNY New Paltz.

The presentation will discuss the findings of the Hubble and Webb space telescopes, and what they have taught us about the history of the universe, and how they are changing our theories about its evolution.

Dr. Yee is an amateur astronomer and past president and member of the Board of Directors of the MHAA. He presently is a Solar System Ambassador, a program supported by NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA. He is a retired psychiatrist and a magician trained at the world-renowned McBride Magic and Mystery School in Las Vegas.

The talk will be delivered in-person at the Coykendall auditorium and will also be delivered via Zoom.
