Come Explore the Aurora with Canadian Space Technology at a very special KPU Richmond lecture with David Knudsen.

On March 17 at 7 p.m., discover how recent Canadian missions have added to our understanding of the beautiful Northern Lights. For more information and to RSVP, visit kpu.ca/caplecture.
