Invited Talk: Jay M. Pasachoff

Jay Pasachoff (Williams College) flew to Alaska straight from Hawaii, where he had only days earlier observed the transit of Venus from atop Haleakala on Maui. In his public talk on Monday evening, he showed his own spectacular images and videos as well as others from his global network of scientific collaborators, some of whom used the transit of Venus to test methods for studying the atmospheres of transiting exoplanets.
