Astronomy Night - Your Guide to the Stars!

 

Come see what the night sky has to offer with cool, high-tech telescopes.  Drop by the field behind Calvert Library Fairview Branch from 7pm to 8:30pm on Tuesday, February 17, and join the Astronomy Club of Southern Maryland’s search of the skies. Telescopes and other astronomical equipment will also be on display inside the library. Talk to experts about everything from meteors and the Milky Way to star clusters and sunspots. With cooperative weather, stargazers should see Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Orion nebula as well as the comet Lovejoy. This is a family event for all ages.

  

If the exhibit and starwatching spark your interest, you might want to follow up with the Astronomy Club of Southern Maryland which meets once a month (based on the phase of the moon), usually at Jefferson Patterson Park.  There are no dues and there are plenty of telescopes for viewing.  For more information about the club, check out their website http://somd-astro.s5.com/.  For more information about the event at the library, call Robyn Truslow at Calvert Library Prince Frederick at 410-535-0291 or 301-855-1862.
