The MƒA Thursday Think Speaker Series brings accomplished thought leaders and experts who dive into cutting edge topics in STEM education to MƒA. In this talk, Dr. Jackie Faherty launched teachers into an immersive tour of the most complete map of the Milky Way Galaxy (and beyond) and guided them on an adventure into nearby stellar systems, exoplanet systems, star-forming regions, and more. Specifically, Dr. Faherty focused on the distribution of objects within 1500 light-years—including stars, brown dwarfs, and exoplanets—and discussed how they form and disperse.
