Saturday Evening Astronomy Talks & Telescopes Viewing : JULY 22, 2023

Deborah Shapley will share three stories of Shapley’s boldness after his 1918 Mount Wilson discovery of our place in the Milky Way — his determination to keep science accessible, his fight for a more just political world, and the pursuit of proof that we are not alone in this universe so full of stars.

Evening Schedule:

• The night begins at 5:30 PM with a talk given by our featured speaker.
• Immediately after the talk, there will be time to picnic at the tables provided.  Bring your own food, or order dinner from the food truck that will be available. 
• Once it is dark, attendees can view the night sky until 11:30 PM through both the 60- and 100-inch telescopes (you can leave at any point in the evening).
• The Los Angeles Astronomical Society will have its telescopes set up around the grounds for viewing different night sky objects.
