Star Party this Wednesday!

by amy

Wednesday, June 27: 9:00 pm to 11:00 pm -- Leslie Science & Nature Center (1831 Traver Rd. map)

Join the University Lowbrow Astronomers and AADL staff this Wednesday night at the Leslie Science & Nature Center for a star party and a chance to earn points for the Summer Game! Lowbrow members will be on hand to offer views through their large telescopes, but feel free to bring your own - or one you've checked out from the Library - for some tips and advice from these expert observers. The sun sets at 9:15 so there won't be much to see other than Saturn and Mars early on, but stick around for a few stellar delights as they pop out one by one. Note: This event will be cancelled if it's cloudy. Check back here for an update.

Go to this one if you can.
The Lowbrows are awesome. They were amazingly generous with their knowledge and their telescopes for the Transit of Venus.

I tried to watch the Transit of Venus with just eclipse goggles and it I couldn't discern it's shape against the sun. Next time there is a similar event I'll have to go to some kind of viewing so we can really see it. Although it won't be for Venus for about 100 more years :(

I hope to go to this event, though it may be on my way from another event. I'm looking forward to it!

Wish I could have gone... I love stargazing. (Even though there always seem to be far too many trees around when the sky happens to be clear.)
