About this event
This event is split in two: with a daytime portion from 10am-2pm and an evening portion from 6:30pm-10pm. You are welcome to join us for one or both parts of day. There will be several activities, just like last year, but with extra things including rockets and special planetarium shows in the evening.
During the daytime, we would love club members to join us out in the gardens with solar scopes, sunspotters, etc. In the evening, we will be out in front of the building, near the large red dome. I will have a portion of the parking lot blocked off to give us a little more space.
There are only a few viewing targets that evening, but it looks like we will have Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury close together and low in the sky after sunset, which is just before 9pm. Feel free to do a little solar viewing before then. Members are also welcome to bring screens to display images, which we have had before and are a great educational tool.
We will have a couple of tables and tents out for the club to use as well. This is an excellent opportunity to talk to people about the club and invite them to meetings. We are expecting mostly families in attendance, but that can still vary greatly.
If you have any questions at all, feel free to reach out to me!
