X-WR-CALDESC:Join us for our fourth Common Ground Conversation!\nPlanets an
 d Pollinator Gardens\n\nAt our Common Ground Series\, we take two seemingl
 y unrelated topics\, learn about them from local community experts\, and t
 hen work together to find the common ground that connects them.\n\nThe ser
 ies is an attempt to not only highlight the cultural richness that exists 
 within the Greater Mankato Area but also delve into the interconnection be
 tween seemingly different unrelated circles and communities.\n\nPlanets:\n
 A century ago\, human beings knew of no more than 8 planets — today\, more
  than 4500 have been discovered. Multiple planets in the solar system have
  now been visited and 100s of billions could be discovered in the Milky Wa
 y galaxy alone.   We’ll discuss how our understanding of the planets have 
 changed over thousands of years as curious humans have considered them in 
 the night sky\, the diversity we know to exist in planets today\, and some
  of the open questions yet to be answered about planets.\n\nPresented by M
 ichael Rutkowski\, Assistant Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Minneso
 ta State University\, Mankato. \nMost of the time\, when he’s not lecturin
 g on planets\, Michael spends his time studying young stars in distant gal
 axies with space-based telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope with col
 leagues here in Minnesota and around the world.\n\nPollinator Gardens: \nI
 t is estimated that 1 out of every 3 bites of food we eat exists because o
 f animal pollinators.  Find out how you can help them continue their vital
  role by planting a simple or elaborate pollinator garden.\n\nPresented by
