The Fort Hays State University Science and Mathematics Education Institute is hosting their Science Café tonight, Thursday December 5th.  The event begins at 7:00 pm at Gella’s Diner & LB Brewing Co. and is free for the public to attend.

The focal point of tonight’s discussion is Comet ISON, which burned up in the sun last week.  Astronomers and night-sky enthusiasts were anticipating ISON putting on quite a show if it had survived the encounter with the sun’s outer atmosphere.

Dr. Paul Adams will be discussing what the scientific community can learn from the comet as it traveled through our solar system.  Adams will also be providing details on other celestial bodies people can look forward to observing in December.
