Larry Jahn, one of NAA's founding members, knows the answer to the question "why is the sky blue," but tonight he answers a different but just as puzzling question: why is the night sky dark, rather than illuminated by the light of an infinite universe of stars - a question first analyzed by German astronomer H.W.M. Olbers two centuries ago, in 1823.
The public is welcome to attend, free of charge.
