Early August is Milky Way viewing time, and, as it gets dark, the center of our galaxy is on display along with the planet Saturn (after 9 p.m.). We'll start inside with a slide show on this evening's stars, including an "inside" look at the black hole at our galaxy's center. Then, we'll move outside for a telescopic view of that center plus a laser star tour and views of Saturn.
Hosted by Val Germann and co-sponsored by the Central Missouri Astronomical Association.
Ages 6-adult. Please register all members of your group. (Enter at the Gene Martin Secret Garden, west end of main parking lot.)
