Star Gazing – Moons of Jupiter, Rings of Saturn, Double Stars, Globular Clusters
- Monday, August 14, 2017, 8:30 PM - 11:00 PM
Join CCE Allegany and Master Sky Watcher Mary Lu Wells
Star Gazers, this is a good year to look at the Rings of Saturn; this fall the rings will be at their widest point for best visibility from Earth.
We will also find the 4 Galilean moons: lo, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto which were recorded by Galileo himself in 1610!
Never seen a double star? Peer through the telescope provided by the Alfred Box of Books and you will be able to see Albireo which comprises a blue and golden star.
Finish off the night with a view of a Globular Cluster that is BILLIONS of years old and consists of millions of stars.
