Astronomy Night with Sugar Creek Astronomical Society
Meeting Place: Visitor Center

We will begin with an indoor program covering
the orbits of the planets and why planets aren’t included on rotating star
finder tools. We will also discuss the winter constellations and the
"winter circle" of stars. Weather
and cloud cover permitting, outdoor viewing will begin about 6:30 p.m.
when we will observe Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, Mars, possibly
Neptune and Uranus, as well as Orion, Andromeda, and other winter
constellations. 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. Recommended for ages
8 and up.
