About the Instructor
NASA Solar System Ambassador Krissie Cook's passion for astronomy began in high school, when she joined the Museum's Quasars to Sea Stars teen work/study/intern program. After one summer in the space hall, she realized she would be happy to spend the rest of her life talking to people about astronomy. Thirty years later, that's exactly what's she's done. Krissie has been the Astronomy Programs manager for the Museum, and is also an astronomy lecturer for SBCC, in addition to doing outreach for NASA.
