Brown Bag to explain merit in research, ‘knowing’ in writing, Page 3 The Chautauquan Daily Seventy-Five Cents Chautauqua, New York The Official Newspaper of Chautauqua Institution | Friday, June 28, 2013 Volume CXXXVII, Issue 6 STEVE MARTIN & THE STEEP CANYON RANGERS wiseman Wiseman discusses emergence of life, its significance

fredo villaseñor Staff Writer

Jennifer Wiseman is an astronomer who does not cease to be in awe of the cosmos. At 10:45 a.m. today in the Amphitheater, Wiseman will lecture on the most recent as- tronomical findings of how the universe and its galaxies have matured over time, eventu- ally making life possible on at least one plan- et. Then she will ask — just as many other lecturers have in the past week — what is humankind’s significance within this vast and elegant universe? “Through astronomy, we are learning how galaxies began to form billions of years ago,” Wiseman said, “and how these galaxies, full of stars and gas, have changed over time.” When the universe began, the only ele- ments present were hydrogen and helium — not enough to create life. But over billions of years, galaxies have become rich with a diverse set of heavier elements. “The processes that make life possible are basically located within stars,” Wiseman said. “Stars have, over time, manufactured through fusion processes heavier elements like carbon and iron that enable eventually planets to form and eventually life to thrive, on at least one planet.” See wiseman, Page 4

hen the 300-mil- lion-mile, hole- in-one mission Wreached its destination, NASA scien- tists watching it from Earth cheered. The Opportunity rover had just berthed on Mars. One of those scientists, Kobie Boykins, was especial- ly emotional. Boykins, a me- chanical engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., engineered the solar arrays that pow- ered the Mars Exploration Rover Mission rovers, Spirit and Opportunity. The rovers were launched in June and July of 2003. Boykins’ zeal for Mars exploration was evident as he bounced back and forth across the stage at Thurs- day’s morning lecture in the Amphitheater, laughing as he engaged a captivated au- dience. In keeping with this week’s theme of “Our El- egant Universe,” he started with a history lesson of the exploration of Mars, the sis- ter planet of Earth. Boykins is one of hun- dreds of JPL scientists who built the rovers, launched them into space and then monitored their progress from Earth. For Boykins and his team, JPL is more than just their place of employ- ment, and its name has more than one meeting. “For those of us who work Roxana Pop | staff Photographer there, it means, ‘Just Plain Kobie Boykins, a mechanical engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, displays a wheel from the first two Mars rovers during his lecture about Mars exploration and Lucky,’ ” he said. the Mars Science Laboratory Thursday morning in the Amphitheater.

t Wednesday’s Interfaith Lecture, three scholars, each representing Judaism, Christianity or Islam, responded to the film “Journey of the Universe.” The film was co-produced by Mary Evelyn TuckerA and John Grim, both of whom lectured on the film earlier this week. Its goal was to integrate cutting- edge science with the wisdom traditions of the world to inspire a renewed relationship with the earth. Rabbi Lawrence Troster presented the Jewish re- sponse to the film; Heather Eaton, the Christian re- sponse; and Safei-Eldin Hamed, the Muslim response.
