You’ve become more interested in enjoying the beauty of the sky, but there seems to be so many new words to learn. What is right ascension? Ecliptic? How do they fit in with the sky?
Steve Siok, an amateur astronomer for over forty years, will put all of the language of the sky together. After taking this workshop, you will be talking astronomy and enjoying it so much more.
Also, weather permitting, Seagrave observatory will be open to the public after the workshop is over. You might want to stay and enjoy the sky with others who love looking up.
This program is just $5.00 per person, free to Skyscrapers, Inc., members. For more information, please contact President Bob Horton, at ShootingSta98@gmail.com
