Astronomy for Everyone: A Journey through the Cosmos!

In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing, join us for this exciting program about the universe from the very small to the very large!

Astronomer Kevin Manning will take us on a virtual journey through the cosmos, followed by a trip outside to view celestial objects through a powerful hand-crafted telescope. This presentation is geared toward adults, but younger astronomy lovers are welcome.

There will be a raffle for a copy of the National Geographic Backyard Guide to the Night Sky, plus the ticket enters you into a raffle for the Summer Reading grand prize of an Orion telescope!
