Stargazer: A Cosmic Journey Through Space and Time In-Person
Escape the stresses of daily life and embark on a meditative journey through the cosmos in our state-of-the-art Visualization Lab, featuring Oregon's largest screen with an unprecedented 50 million pixel resolution. This unique relaxation experience combines stunning full-resolution imagery captured by the James Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes with carefully curated ambient soundscapes, creating an immersive environment that transports you from nebulae billions of light-years away to the intricate details of distant galaxies. Watch as stellar nurseries birth new stars, witness the delicate dance of planetary systems, and marvel at cosmic phenomena that reveal the universe's infinite beauty and mystery.
This free wellness event welcomes students, faculty, staff, and community members seeking a peaceful respite from academic and professional demands. Whether you're cramming for finals, navigating work pressures, or simply need a moment of wonder and perspective, Stargazer offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from earthly concerns and reconnect with the awe-inspiring vastness of space. The session encourages mindful observation and quiet reflection, making it an ideal complement to meditation practices or a standalone experience for anyone curious about astronomy.
