Stephen LaFlamme will provide us with two short presentations. First, he will review a recent project where he was able to locate and take images of the James Webb Space Telescope from his backyard as it goes about its business nearly one million miles from earth. Second, he will introduce a new vocabulary word, pareidolia, and it’s longtime role in visual astronomy.
.Join us on Saturday, April 29, 2023, as we celebrate International Astronomy Day co-hosted by Skyscrapers, Inc. (Amateur Astronomical Society of RI), and the RI Museum of Natural History & Planetarium.
