Program Description
Description
Did you know that the clear winter sky is perfect for stargazing? Join us as we meet inside the library with a brief overview of telescope use and then (weather permitting) move outside to check out the night sky. Rockford Amateur Astronomers will lead the program. Among other things, we will be looking for the comet called "Comet46P/Wirtanen". It's anticipated path will make it one of the ten closest-approaching comets of the Space Age! Dress appropriately for the temperature. The program is for all ages--children, teens, and adults, but kids must be accompanied by adults. Please register all attendees separately.
