Adults, teens, and kids have two opportunities coming up to explore the world around them — and above them.

In Bridgehampton, the South Fork Natural History Museum's Young Environmentalists Society will host a conversation with Carl Safina on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. He will focus on his two "Beyond Words" books for young readers, one on what elephants and whales think and feel, the other on wolves and dogs. He will also discuss "Nina Delmar: The Great Whale Rescue," another of his children's books, and take questions. The talk is free, but reservations are required by emailing [email protected] or calling the museum.

On Tuesday at 7 p.m., a free Zoom program will show images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, discussed by William Francis Taylor, a senior educator with the Hamptons Observatory. "The Webb telescope is the largest and most complex space science telescope ever built and will be the premier observatory of the next decade," according to the observatory. A registration link is at sofo.org.
