December 2025

It’s hard to believe that December and winter are upon us. Weather permitting, we will meet at Seagrave for the last time in 2025 on December 6. Our January meeting and Holiday Potluck will take place at the North Scituate Community House on January 3. Our speaker for January will be author and historian Eddie Guimont. Eddie last spoke to us at AstroAssembly 2024 about H. P. Lovecraft. This time, he will talk about Mark Twain and his interest in astronomy. Look for more information in our January newsletter.

While we won’t be meeting at Seagrave during the winter, we will continue to open for observing on Saturday nights as the weather and access to the grounds permit. My gratitude goes out to the members of the Observatory Committee who are willing to brave some chilly nights to give someone their first glimpse of the Moon or a planet through a telescope. Personally, I find the experience of introducing visitors to the night sky very rewarding and have missed being actively involved. We can always use more volunteers to greet guests, point out objects in the night sky, or to operate one of our three main telescopes. Stop by some Saturday night for a visit. If you would like to join the team, just let me know.

Wishing you a joyous holiday and a happy new year!

Until next time,

Linda
