  • Lecture: Beauty of the Universe – The Astrophotography of Michael Scott Poirier

    ABDNHA Library 652 Palm Canyon Drive, Borrego Springs, CA, United States

    Speaker: Michael Poirier 
    Michael Poirier’s presentation will include many images of galaxies, nebulae, planets, and other celestial objects taken from his observatory in Borrego Springs and other locations in Southern California. He will also give a brief explanation on how he captures and processes these images.

    Michael says he still doesn’t know what he wants to be when he grows up. Educated in the U.S. and Switzerland, he served as a commissioned officer in the United States Navy before embarking on a successful career as a biotech executive and entrepreneur. Through it all, he has always been interested in astronomy.  “My interest in astronomy began when I was a teenager. One night, I looked up at the stars through binoculars and noticed that one was a large, fuzzy blob. Later, I found out that it was the Andromeda Galaxy. Ever since then, I have become passionate about it and have focused on astrophotography.”  GP $12, M $10, V $8. Register online or at the Nature Center, 760-767-3098.
