Thank you to Khelsea for a fun astronomy night presentation! We learned a lot about light pollution and the different constellations to look for while stargazing. We followed the presentation with a star party outside!

Some of my favorite descriptions from the kids were that Saturn and the Moon looked like pizza or a polka dot. It was super cool to see the moon's craters clearly through the telescope!

Our next astronomy night is Monday, November 9th at 7:00 pm!
