Our Milky Way galaxy is not just a hazy streak of distant stars visible in the night sky
on a dark, clear night. Every object we can see with our naked eye in the night sky is
part of our home galaxy. During this program, we will explore Jupiter, double stars, clouds
of interstellar gas, and star clusters. We will conclude the program by viewing another
galaxy that is very similar to our own Milky Way.
The Lake Afton Public Observatory is open to the public every Friday and Saturday evening. In October through February, the Observatory's hours are from 7:30 to 10:00 p.m. Admission:
