Backyard Astronomy Program Using the Library’s Telescope

On November 21st , at 6:30 p.m. members of the Aldrich Astronomical Society will present a family friendly PowerPoint presentation on how to use the library’s telescope using a technique called star hopping. Spacey door prizes will be offered for children, along with outside viewing on two telescopes for all, weather permitting.
