"Journey to a Comet"

Greg Shanos

Featuring Greg Shanos

Greg’s interest in astronomy began back in 1985 when he witnessed the apparition of Halley’s Comet. Currently the internet is ablaze with the recent passage of interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS, raising awareness for the general public. Greg will discuss the composition of comets, the six spacecraft that have visited various comets, with a focus on organic molecules that have been discovered.

Greg earned a double baccalaureate in both Pharmacy and Chemistry from the University of Rhode Island in 1984, a Master of Arts in Teaching from Rhode Island College in 1989, and a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the University of Florida in 1999. In 1990 Greg married and relocated to Sarasota, Florida where he currently resides.
