[Sureshks]

Hi everyone,

Join us on Saturday December 7th at 1:00pm CT for the next virtual presentation of the MAS Beginner Special Interest Group event of the Fall/Winter season. Claire Weaverling will be presenting “Globular Clusters: What They Are So Cool!”

Synopsis:

"December isn't exactly globular season. Yet winter is the perfect time to plan ahead on your observing projects. Hunting globulars can be a challenging but satisfying experience, with plenty of targets for beginners. If you imagine all globular clusters look alike - think again. There is visual variety to be found. And scientific surveys of globular clusters have revealed fascinating insights into the history and composition of these gems of our night sky!”

These days you can usually find her at Cherry Grove Observatory with her 18" Dobsonian telescope, working diligently on an Astronomical League observing program.

We hope you can join us!!
