SCIENCE LECTURE Speaker: Dr. Artem Aguichine (UC Santa Cruz) Title: A New Era of Exoplanet Characterization: Hunting for Water Worlds Abstract:More than 5,800 exoplanets have been discovered so far, but what do we really know about these distant worlds? With key missions like Kepler and telescopes such as Keck, we have become adept at measuring basic properties of exoplanets, but unraveling their true nature remains a thrilling challenge. Based on theoretical models of planet formation, evolution, and structure, astronomers predict a vast array of planetary compositions. Even more exciting, the most common category of exoplanets—sub-Neptunes—could be “water worlds,” resembling scaled-up versions of icy moons like Europa and Titan. Astronomy is now entering a transformative new era with JWST, whose groundbreaking observational techniques are unveiling the complex nature of these sub-Neptunes. Transmission spectroscopy observations have already started to reveal molecular signatures in exoplanet atmospheres, shedding light on their interiors and compelling us to refine our models. From transit to transit spectroscopy, join me to learn how these recent JWST results have transformed our view of exoplanet structures and compositions, and how they are shaping the hunt for true water worlds. Looking ahead, upcoming missions such as ESA’s ARIEL and NASA’s future Habitable Worlds Observatory will take exoplanet characterization to the next level, offering deeper insights into habitability conditions and propelling the field of astrobiology forward. By uniting new observational data with advanced theoretical models, we stand on the threshold of discovering—and perhaps one day confirming—the existence of genuine water worlds beyond our Solar System. Learn more about our speaker here! Ticket Types General Admission tickets include concert seating, astronomy lecture, viewing through the 36-inch Great Refractor telescope and viewing through the 40-inch Nickel Telescope. Preferred Admission tickets include front center concert seating, astronomer lecture, priority viewing through the 36-inch Great Refractor, and priority viewing through the 40-inch Nickel Telescope.

Join bestselling local author Evelyn Skye at Books Inc Palo Alto for a reading, discussion, and book signing of her newest fresh, magical, and hopelessly romantic novel The Incredible Kindness of Paper! About the book:In elementary school, Chloe Hanako Quinn is assigned Oliver Jones as her pen pal partner. Before sending her letter, she also whispers a note into it…and he hears her. Little does she know it would be the beginning of a friendship that would bloom into something more. That is, until disaster strikes, and Oliver and his family disappear without a trace. Now over twenty years later, Chloe is a high school guidance counselor in New York City. But life in the Big Apple is not what she dreamed it would be as she faces a layoff, rising rent, a situationship, and loneliness. Desperate for encouragement, she gives herself a pep talk via uplifting messages written on yellow origami paper that she folds into roses. When one of the roses unexpectedly finds its way to a neighbor in need of cheering up, a desire to spread kindness and optimism is sparked in Chloe, who begins folding more roses and leaving them around town. Across the city, Oliver has picked himself up from the rough circumstances that forced him to leave everything behind as a teenager—including Chloe. Now a successful financial analyst, Oliver’s past continues to haunt him. But when the city is suddenly inundated with yellow origami roses, a specific one finds its way into his hands and changes his life forever… I don't think I've ever read a book quite like THE INCREDIBLE KINDNESS OF PAPER. It gripped me from the very beginning with its beautiful prose and heartfelt characters. It's touching and whimsical, and it's exactly what the world needs right now. — Ethan Joella, author of THE SAME BRIGHT STARS Evelyn Skye is the New York Times bestselling author of several novels, including The Hundred Loves of Juliet and The Incredible Kindness of Paper. A graduate of Stanford University and Harvard Law School, her books have been published worldwide and translated into sixteen languages. Find out more at EvelynSkye.com.

We’re cooking up a sweet summer adventure at our Campbell store as we welcome graphic novelist Lucy Knisley for her new book SUGAR SHACK – the third book in her Peapod Farm series. About SUGAR SHACK - For one city-kid turned country girl whose life has been changing nonstop, it seems like it’s finally time to find her place in her new blended family while settling in for the winter! Cozy up to the final volume of the heartfelt and acclaimed Peapod Farm series! Jen couldn't be more excited to spend time on Peapod Farms with her step-sisters, Andy and Reese. For months, Jen has been so focused on trying to figure out how she fits into her new blended family that she hasn't realized she's found her place... that is until Reese calls her sister. Excited and content, Jen thought she had figured everything out, but now she's not so sure. A rift emerges between the girls as Andy doubles down on being Reese's ACTUAL sister, while Jen is just the STEP sister. With Andy's attitude bringing a cold front to the farm it seems like it's going to be a long winter. Maybe between Peapod Farm's first snow and learning how to tap a tree for sugar, Jen and Andy both will have a chance to truly understand what it means to be family. More about Lucy Knisley: Lucy Knisley is the critically acclaimed, award-winning, New York Times bestselling comics creator of Relish and Kid Gloves. She lives in Chicago with her partner and kiddo. She specializes in personal, confessional graphic novels and travelogues. The Peapod Farms books are Lucy's first graphic novels for kids. Information Source: Books Inc. | eventbrite
