Steve Hubbard "Dance of the Polar Lights"

Interested in learning more about the Northern Lights?

The speaker at the June meeting of The Skyscrapers Astronomical Society of RI will be longtime member Steve Hubbard. Steve and his wife along with fellow Skyscraper member Ray Kennison and his wife traveled to the wilds of central Alaska in early March of this year on a special trip devoted primarily to seeking out and viewing the Northern Lights.
Fairbanks Alaska is one of the best areas on Earth in which to see the lights both due to it’s location and to the lack of a lot of outdoor lighting to impede the view. Steve will be presenting an account of his trip to the members at the Skyscrapers home in North Scituate RI where he will recount the fabulous scenery, fun adventures and what turned out to be some bright, memorable Northern Lights displays.

Steve has won awards for telescope making and imaging and has been a member and amateur astronomer since the early 1970s.
