We hope you're excited for Space Drafts #105 next week! This month, we'll be joined by two Steward Observatory graduate students: Aafaque Khan will be telling us about how to use small satellites to study the collision between our very own Milky Way and its nearest neighbor, and Lily Whitler will be talking about the very earliest galaxies to exist in the universe. And Steward postdocs Jackie Champagne and Danny Krolikowski will be updating us on all the latest and greatest in the astronomical world!
