May B-SIG

Post by Sureshks »

Hello everyone!

The May B-SIG presentation will be held in conjunction with Astronomy Day on Saturday May 14th.

Join us at Eagle Lake Observatory at 11:00am for a presentation on the Geology of Mars by the MAS's NASA Ambassador Dave Falkner!

The presentation will be held in the Hotspot classroom at ELO. Afterwards, starting at 1pm, the observatory will open up for daytime solar and planet observing, followed by talks on various astronomy topics, a door prize drawing... and more observing!

For a complete list of the Astronomy Day activities at ELO, see here: http://www.mnastro.org/events/astronomy-day/

We hope to see you there!
