The event was a success, thanks to the clear skies (at least
for the first hour), and to our wonderful volunteers:
Brian Jacobs Christina Magangnoli
Roger Easton Marko Ristic
Amber Dubill Ekta Shah
Ansel Obergfell Tracy Davis
Stacey Davis Jen Connelly
About 35 visitors, quite a few consisting of parents with children,
came to learn about constellations. Ten of the visitors
passed our star test afterward and earned a gold medallion!
Tonight's event focuses on a few of the 88 groups of stars that we call the constellations. Can you find them in the sky? Do you know the storis behind each one?
Some handy guides for this evening's skygazing follow.
What will you see in the sky at around 10:30 PM?
