Adrian Bradley, amateur astronomer and writer, will discuss recognizing astronomical misinformation and countering it effectively.

We will discuss the following topics:

• Understanding misinformation in the astronomy space (without going into a rage, or falling for it)
• How to determine if a headline, image, or video is actually misinformation (and yes we will discuss A.I.)
• How to use misinformed postings in the media to direct people to authentic astronomy.

As usual, the presentation will be available on Zoom, but Adrian will be presenting from the Knapp Branch of Detroit Public Library. You are welcome to join us in person or online.

DPL is partnering with WSU's planetarium, and local astronomy enthusiasts, on these talks related to astronomy.

Zoom link will be sent to registrants before program. We routinely initiate Zoom auto-transcription.

A recording will be posted on the Detroit Public Library YouTube channel after the program.
