Hi all,
With the moon waxing, we will be joining in another Virtual Public Night with Penn Dixie, the Explore & More Children’s museum, and the Williamsville Space Lab Planetarium. We will have overviews of the night sky this month, questions and answers (you can ask questions yourself if you join in the Facebook livestream!), and activities for young astronomers. This event will start tomorrow night (Friday, June 26th) at 8:30 PM. Live viewing and discussion with BAA members will begin (weather permitting) around 9:30PM. The event page, which is hosted on Facebook by Penn Dixie, is here.
If you are a BAA member and would like to show a view through your telescope, help answer questions from the public, or present on astronomical topics, please contact Ernie Jacobs or reach out in the Members forum. Perhaps we’ll have some planetary views this time — Jupiter and Saturn are rising earlier and earlier now! Hope to see lots of members and perhaps some inquiring public there.
