An annular solar eclipse happens tomorrow morning! Unfortunately, LaGrange is just outside the area of visibility for the eclipse, but check out the map to see if you are within viewing range of the eclipse!

Look out for the KiNet-X space probe launch tomorrow evening from Virginia. It should be visible, weather permitting, along the east coast! The launch window is between 8:03-8:43pm EDT.

A mission to explore energy transport in space using a NASA suborbital sounding rocket launching May 8, 2021, from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia may provide a brief light show for residents of the eastern United States and Bermuda.

Congratulations to Cameron Perkins-McLeod on his acceptance to Auburn University! He will be transferring there under our Dual Degree Engineering program. He's been an awesome student to teach at LaGrange, and I'm sure he'll be an awesome student there!

Last week LaGrange College chemistry seminar speaker was a special researcher, our own Hank Barnes. Hank is a graduate of LaGrange College and is currently in the Chemistry Ph.D. program at Auburn University. These photos are from his research lecture last week and when he was a student here at LaGrange College.
Hank was awarded the 2017 Waights G. Henry, Jr. Leadership Award, the most prestigious award given to a student by LaGrange College.

Thanks to Dr. Christian Goldsmith, Associate Professor of Chemistry at Auburn University, for sharing his research with our chemistry department. His group prepares ligands with redox-active phenol and quinol complexed to Mn(II) ions. These Mn(II) complexes can act as sensors for H2O2 in conjunction with a MRI scanner. It is very interesting research Dr. Goldsmith and thanks again for your presentation.

Congratulations to Holston Sebaugh on your published work with Dr. Ludwick in Modern Physics Letters A! It is entitled "Deriving the Dark Matter-Dark Energy Interaction Term in the Continuity Equation from the Boltzmann Equation". He also did a great job presenting his work at an American Physical Society conference during the pandemic lockdown.
