Summary

Astronomy in the Bog

Friday, April 17 from 7pm to 9pm

Join Scott Nehring for a journey through our model solar system as we learn about the planet’s orbital periods and the distances between them. 

We will also be setting up telescopes to travel to a variety of nebulas, star clusters, and galaxies with a focus on understanding the vast distances needed to travel to them. Our visible universe is huge and it’s our hope that you will be able to see the stars and constellations in more of a three-dimensional way than ever before. 

Unfortunately, we do not have a planetary line up that evening, but Saturn should be in a good position for viewing, and that is one of our favorite planets to see.
