Join Crawford Park District Volunteers and members of the Lowe-Volk Astronomy Club as they share their knowledge and telescope skills with all who are interested in the celestial sights.

Targets for Winter include:
M-42 a great nebula in Orion. It’s about 1,300 light years away. This is our closest emission nebula and a birthplace of stars. The area glows like a fluorescent light.
M-31 is the Andromeda Galaxy. It is the closest large galaxy, but is still 2.5 million light years away. You can see this without a telescope!
Hyades is an open cluster of stars found 153 light years away. It is our nearest open cluster and one of the best-studied star clusters.
The Moon is our closest target and is a great object to view in the telescope.
Comets

We will start our “Viewing the Night Sky” program in the classroom and then move outside to view the sky through the telescopes.

Bring your own telescope or allow the volunteers to assist you with those provided. It’s a spectacular universe!

Please dress for the weather!

Saturday, February 23rd
6:30pm-7:30pm
