Description: Have you always been fascinated by the night sky Spend a couple of evenings learning how to become an amateur<br />
astronomer. In a mini astronomy course/slide presentation, you’ll learn about the vastness of space and the distances involved in<br />
space travel. Learn the differences in the various types of telescopes available and which might be better for you. Try them out in a<br />
viewing session outdoors. Think a telescope might be too much for you Give binocular astronomy a try. Test out binoculars of<br />
various sizes and magnifications. Both evenings will include an indoor talk/graphics presentation, and the second evening outside<br />
will be dedicated to viewing some of the wonders of the night sky! Bring your curiosity and questions, bring your scope or<br />
binoculars. If you’ve never looked at Saturn or the moon through a telescope, it’s reason enough to come! Limited to 12 students.<br />
Notes: Instructor will confirm outdoor location for the second session (likely to be held behind the high school in the<br />
parking lot, near the track/bleachers). Please be sure to get/give contact information to the instructor during the first session.<br />
