Mid-Autumn Skies

Mid-Autumn Skies (206-210)

Friday, October 27th (7:00-8:30 pm; sunset at 6:17 pm) - Observing cancelled in the event of cloudy skies, but a classroom lecture will be available

The approach of Winter brings with it early sunsets, and although no planets are visible until Mars rises at about 7 pm, there's still plenty to see among the stars themselves. The constellations of summer are giving way to star patterns of fall: Pegasus the Flying Horse and Andromeda the Princess are taking center stage from the Summer Triangle. Among these stars are deep-sky jewels such as star clusters, the Ring Nebula, and the Andromeda Galaxy. A laser-guided tour of the constellations is supplemented by telescopic observation - bring your own binoculars and a red-colored flashlight, if you have them, and dress warmly. Sunset is at 4:51 pm.

Observing cancelled in case of cloudy weather, but an indoor classroom lecture will be available
