<b>Presentation Date:</b> Friday, November 3rd, 2023 <br>
<b>Location:</b> Harvard University, Cambridge, MA<br>
<b>Abstract:</b> A talk demonstrating the importance of going from two dimensions to three dimensions in astronomy, not only in the solar system, but way beyond, all the way out to the expanding universe. Uses WorldWide Telescope software to take the audience on a live tour of what we know in three dimensions and connect the coordinate systems we use now to those in the mechanism of the Pope Orrery.
