Have you ever looked up at the night sky, and wondered what stars you were seeing? What constellation patterns are being made overhead? This workshop will introduce you to the skies of spring and early summer, by showing you, step by step, how, by beginning at the Big Dipper, to find your way through the nighttime sky. 

Francine Jackson has been an astronomer and a member of Skyscrapers, Inc. for many years. She writes a weekly notice for Brown University’s Ladd Observatory.

This program is just $5.00 per person, free to Skyscrapers, Inc., members. For more information, please contact President Steve Siok at ssiok@cox.net

Also, weather permitting, Seagrave Observatory will be open to the public after the workshop. Please stay and enjoy the night sky with others who love looking up.
