Good Evening Stargazers! Please join us tonight at the UNH Observatory at 9 PM until 11 PM for our last public stargazing session before the New England Fall Astronomy Festival in two weeks! The sky is clear in Durham tonight and we're looking forward to seeing all of you. Saturn should be superb as it's shining its brightest for the rest of the year. Dress warmly, as it is expected to cool down tonight.
