The Moon: Earth’s Natural Satellite

November 7 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

The Moon: Earth’s Natural Satellite

Planet Earth has just one natural satellite – an oddity in our solar system. Explore the origins of the Moon and humanity’s evolving relationship with it. Jim Hahn will teach us about the Moon’s features, phases, myths, and lore. We’ll be indoors, but if weather permits, we’ll view the Moon outside through telescopes, so please dress warmly.

Jim Hahn is a lifelong amateur astronomer who learned the constellations at eight years old and built a telescope at fifteen. When the sky is not dark and clear, he writes software, rides his bike, and sings in two choirs. Jim is an active member of the Northern Cross Science Foundation, a local astronomy club dedicated to public outreach, and stays current in astronomy by reading books, magazines, and websites on the topic.

This program is for all ages! Youth must be accompanied by an adult.
Members*: $5/person | Non-members: $10/person
Pre-registration is not required, but highly recommended as there is limited space.

The Milky Way: The Galaxy We Call Home

September 24 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

The Milky Way: The Galaxy We Call Home

Please note this event has been cancelled. Our apologies!

Jim Hahn will give a presentation entitled, “The Milky Way: The Galaxy We Call Home.” Among the questions we will answer: What would it be like to live near the center of our galaxy? What would we find there? Is our galaxy typical? We’ll get up to date on the many discoveries about our galaxy in the last few years. After our program indoors, we will head outside to look through telescopes at the wonders of the Milky Way. Please dress warmly.
