Star, Galaxy, and The Universe a Public Talk Program

To promote and establish astronomy culture in our society we organized public talk program on June 14 during the Second Kathmandu Astrophysics School-2108 (KAS18), with organizing committee of KAS18. Three speaker Dr.Michele Trenti (University of Melbourne), Dr. Mustafa Amin (Rice University) and Dr. Manisha Shrestha (University of Denver) present  a brief journey through astronomical wonders, starting from a close look at what are stars and what are their key properties, continuing to discuss galaxies (made of tens to thousands billions of stars) and finally the Universe as a whole (with the visible portion having more than hundred billion galaxies). They introduce these concepts at a level accessible for the general public without requiring  prerequisite knowledge, and there will be time for questions and answers. A written translation from English to Nepali will be provided, and one of the speakers is fluent in Nepali.
