About this event
For anyone in grades 4 through adult, this Introduction to Astronomy for beginners is a workshop that will have you literally exploring outer space on your own computer. We will learn to use a planetarium program that you can download for free. Explore the solar system, stars, constellations, and planets.
We will hold a ONE-TIME INTRO class on Friday, June 12, from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. We will offer other, more in-depth workshops this fall.
In this June 12 class we will focus on the solar system, what planets will be up over the summer and fall, how to spot them, features (moons, orbits, etc), and Earth’s moon and common knowledge topics (phases, blue moon, supermoon, nomenclature, etc.) We will look at various meteorites, rocks from outer space that are older than the Earth! Explore the geology of the planets and moons, and learn how one big impact changed life on Earth. We will also teach you how to run Stellarium, a free planetarium software you can download on your computer.
