Welcome
Rocket through
space and sail
among billions
of stars and
galaxies.
Utilizing some
very cool
simulation software Dean Regas
takes you up to investigate the
structure and mind-boggling scale
of the universe. Along the way
you'll stop at the Moon and
individual planets. You'll witness
the variety of objects orbiting the
Sun, and discuss Pluto's fate.

He has been the Outreach Astronomer for the
Cincinnati Observatory since 2000 where he
has developed his skills as a dynamic public
speaker and brings the complicated field of
astronomy down to Earth for students of all
ages.
Out of This World Speaker
Astronomy
was
everywhere in
the ancient
world. If you
look at the
oldest surviving works of art and
architecture, you find astronomy
within them: Cave paintings in
France, pyramids in Egypt,
intricate mounds in the Americas.

After over 12
years of public
speaking at the
Cincinnati
Observatory,
Dean Regas
has heard
every astronomy conspiracy
theory and doomsday prediction
in the universe - and frankly, he's
worried. He's worried that we are
slipping into an age of growing
superstition. The general public
has access to more unfounded
information than ever
