About the event

Universe in the Park: In-Person Badger Talk at Buckhorn State Park, Necedah, WI
Join presenter Eshan Raul on August 16, 2025, at 9:00 PM at Buckhorn State Park for Universe in the Park. Enjoy a 30–40 minute astronomy talk at sunset, followed by telescope viewing (weather permitting). Great for ages 8+ (talk) and 4+ (viewing). Parking is adjacent to the nature center.

Presenter Eshan Raul holds a B.S. in Astronomy/Astrophysics from the University of Michigan and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Astronomy at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. His research primarily revolves around studying exoplanets, or planets outside of our solar system. Specifically, he is using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to determine the compositions of their atmospheres in the search for life in the Universe, the underlying motivation for his research. Similarly, he is also using JWST to analyze the chemical abundances of terrestrial planet-forming regions of protoplanetary disks, in order to figure out just how special our own solar system really is.

Presenter Alejandra Lopez Holguin's research interests focus on understanding the mechanisms driving interstellar chemistry and the pathways for the formation of life, combining spectroscopy, observations, and modeling.
