Even the most extreme weather on Earth pales in comparison
to the truly astronomical storms found on worlds elsewhere
in our solar system. Hurricanes, dust storms, acid rain,
geysers, and volcanic eruptions on our planet are downright
pathetic against the monstrous wallop of these storms. Come
hear the causes and effects of the worst weather known to
science.


Lectures on a diverse selection of cosmic topics are held
the first Tuesday of every month at 8 PM in the STScI
Auditorium, located at 3700 San Martin Drive on the Homewood
campus of Johns Hopkins University. Admission is free and free
parking is available in the lot across the street.

This lecture will be webcast live. The recorded webcast will
also be available for viewing online the following day. To
