NASA’s Best Images and Videos 2024

Some of the most amazing images and videos from the popular NASA science website Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD: apod.nasa.gov) during 2024 will be presented. The science and stories behind these images will be discussed. Topics will include recently bright aurorae and comets visible from California, Webb and Hubble images of the nearby Solar System and distant universe, our active Sun, the best of amateur astrophotography from around the world, and more.

Dr. Robert Nemiroff is a Professor at Michigan Technological University. He holds a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society. He is perhaps best known as a creator and editor for one of NASA’s most popular science websites: the Astronomy Picture of the Day at https://apod.nasa.gov/ .

His recent bestseller book “Faster than Light: How Your Shadow Can Do It but You Can’t” can be found here.
