NWAMN - Astronomy Night with Sugar Creek Astronomical Society

About this event

We will begin with an indoor program presented by Dr. Clinton Willis, who will offer a different look at astronomy called “Archeoastronomy”. He will discuss how ancient civilizations mixed both their mythologies and science together in order to understand and explain the cosmos and the origins of many natural phenomena. Weather and cloud cover permitting, outdoor viewing will begin about 9:00 p.m. Saturn and Venus will be in the lower sky to the southwest. Jupiter will shine brightly and appear high in the sky, while Mars rises in the east. The Milky Way will be faint. Club members will bring high quality amateur telescopes for public viewing. Items you may wish to bring include a red light, binoculars, and a lawn chair. Reservations not required.
