The week in Calgary is anticipated to be very cold with daily highs approaching -30°C. The week after looks like it will again be above seasonal. On Monday, January 13 both Saturn and the dwarf planet Ceres will be in conjunction with the Sun. Saturn will once again appear in the morning sky, probably becoming visible early in February.
The Moon will be at its last quarter phase at the end of this week and appear in the early morning skies.

Synopsis: Since the acquisition of seismic data in the 1960's, impact structures have been seen in seismic data. These are structures that were created earlier in the Earth's history from a meteorite impact and have since been buried underground. While many of these unique structures are known to be located in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, we also find these buried impact craters around the world with many well-known astroblemes located in the USA. Some of these structures occur in areas with oil and/or gas concentrations and are of interest to the industry for economic reasons, while others exist in zones without any hydrocarbons and are of scientific interest to gain a better understanding of these structures and events. In this presentation we will take a world tour of some of the well-known impact structures seen in seismic data, followed by an in-depth look at a few examples found in Alberta. Come explore a unique topic where astrophysics meets geophysics!
This event is occuring on January 16 at 7pm in the main program room of the Calgary Public Library! Don't miss out on free knowledge! Perfect for youth! Check out the links below:
