Zoom event for teens and adults: The Last Stargazers with author Emily Levesque

Author event from King County Libraries: The Last Stargazers with Author Emily Levesque

Wednesday, February 23, 2022 from 6:30-8pm

In “The Last Stargazers,” award-winning UW astronomer Emily Levesque takes us on a road trip to visit the most powerful telescopes in the world, introducing the passionate and sometimes quirky individuals who run them, modern-day stargazers who devote their lives to peering across the universe and are at risk of being supplanted by automated technology.

Meet Emily, hear about the book and get a chance to ask questions.

The book was shortlisted for the 2021 ALA Alex Award, the 2021 Pen/EO Wilson Literary Science Award, and the 2021 AAAS/Subaru Book Prize.

“The Last Stargazers” is available in paperback and is available from Third Place Books.

Please register. A Zoom link will be sent to you. Email andrewm@kcls.org if you don’t receive an email by the day of the event.
