Join Shadow the Scientist and W.M. Keck Observatory as they investigate distant solar system objects, our newest interstellar visitor, and objects that share a similar orbit to the Earth’s with the Keck/MOSFIRE near-infrared camera.

They have a triple feature planned for you with the Keck telescope: the near-infrared investigation of Neptunian Trojan objects, interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, and Earth co-orbitals.

They will discuss the challenges of observing these enigmatic objects from the summit of Maunakea and what we can learn about the formation of planetary systems from their observed physical properties.
