We will have professional astronomer give a short public talk about an astronomical topic.

The weather forecast looks good. There will be a pretty waxing gibbous Moon, and cool objects currently visible include the globular cluster M13 in Hercules, the well-known colorful double star Albireo, the donut-shaped Ring Nebula M57, and the magnificent Andromeda spiral galaxy M31. Come on out to catch a glimpse of these objects — and many more — with your own eyes through our telescopes!
