From the ABCs of Astronomy, to giving you the opportunity to learn how to begin exploring space from members of our local astronomy club, The Bishopis all about expanding your universe! Fire up your computer and blast off with us this Saturday, May 2, when we celebrate Astronomy Day! Anyone can be an amateur astronomer — all you need to get started is your eyes, some outdoors, and a little knowledge. Join us for one or all of these FREE online offerings. |
This beginner-friendly session introduces you to the stars, planets and other objects you can see from your backyard, and the tools that can help you. Your guides are The Bishop’s Planetarium Manager Howard Hochhalter and experts from our local astronomy club.
