Boom! Read!” Coming up, the <br />Downtown Library will host a number of free, educational, and entertaining talks on the subject. <br /> <br />How does the Milky Way Galaxy relate to the solar system and what can be seen in the night sky? <br />What about other galaxies? Join astrophysics educator Rick Kang for an illustrated talk about these <br />questions and more at “Galaxies: Huge Star Cities in Deep Space,” on Tuesday, Aug. 19, at 6 p.m. <br /> <br />Eugene’s 2013 SLUG Queen won the title with a science-inspired campaign – because she’s also <br />Brandy Todd, University of Oregon (UO) science educator.
