    The Cosmic Distant Ladder – BAAD at Borellis

    November 8, 2025, 7:00pm at Borelli’s Pizza!

    An amazing night of music, science and pizza! We’ll have performances of 7 original songs by local song writers, interspersed with short mediations from Dr. Luke Leisman on the astronomical theme of the Cosmic Distance Ladder. It’s one of my favorite nights of the year! You don’t want to miss it!

    This image combines Hubble observations of M 106 with additional information captured by amateur astronomers Robert Gendler and Jay GaBany. Gendler combined Hubble data with his own observations to produce this stunning colour image. M 106 is a relatively nearby spiral galaxy, a little over 20 million light-years away.
