WESTPORT, Conn. Ys Man Marty Yellin will once again share his knowledge of the scientific world, thistime updating the group on the work of the Hubble Telescope.

The Hubble was sent into low Earthorbit in 1990 and remains the most productive astronomical instrument ever built.

Yellin will speak to Ys Men of Westport/Weston on April 13 at the SaugatuckCongregational Church at 245 Post Road E., Westport.

He will speak about some ofthe latest findings from the telescope, with an emphasis on its recent discoveries of manyexoplanets, which seem to have the conditions for life of some kind.

He will also talkabout some of the most recently discovered Black Holes, including showing the first-ever picture of a Black Hole swallowing a star like our Sun.

Yellin earned bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering from CUNY.

He joined Perkin-Elmer, where he was a member of the top-secret Hexagon program,the largest and most successful spy satellite ever to be flown up to that time. He laterworked on the team that designed and fabricated the Hubble Space Telescope.
