Astronomy Night – Saturday, June 21st – Mars
Jeffrey Alexander will again be hosting a series of Astronomy Nights at Robbins Farm Park. From Jeffrey:
Hi folks, I’m pleased to announce that we’ll be having another series of Astronomy Nights this summer in Robbins Farm Park. The first night will be this coming Saturday, June 21st starting at around 8:30pm. If you haven’t been to an Astronomy Night before, here’s the deal (also, the same deal if you have):
I, and possibly a few other folks, will set up telescopes in Robbins Farm Park by the benches that overlook Boston. Each scheduled evening we’ll have a different particular target in mind, though we always look around at what else is up too. Anybody who would like is welcome to come by, look through a telescope, and maybe learn a thing or two. This coming weekend the plan is to catch a glimpse of Mars before it circles too far around the Sun for us to see it. It is getting far away from us, but we’ll still be able to see it is not just a star!
