With mankind returning to the Moon with the upcoming Artemis II mission, now is the perfect time to look up and view our closest celestial neighbor for yourself!
Join the Hamilton Amateur Astronomers for a fun, family friendly public astronomy workshop at Valley Park Library, to get all the basic information you'll need to start stargazing and exploring the universe yourself.
The event features four short presentations from HAA members:
1:30 - Observing the Moon and Lunar Landing Sites by Chris Szaban
2:30 - Introduction to Telescopes by Matthew Mannering
3:30 - Introduction to the Night Sky by John Gauvreau
4:00 - The Moon and Planets This Winter by Kevin Salwach
In between the presentations, members of the HAA will have their equipment set up and will be happy to answer any questions you might have about telescopes and stargazing in general, and provide you help with any issues you might be having with your own telescope, binoculars or other astronomy gear.
There will also be a Moon themed kid's coloring station, so bring the whole family!
We hope to see you there.
Also check out other Workshops in Hamilton.
