    High School Astronomy Expedition

    Observing Our first astronomy observing session is going to happen Friday evening, September 1! No need to be in the astronomy class—any interested high school students are welcome. For this first session, we’ll stay at school because we won’t need particularly dark skies. We’ll set up the telescopes, we’ll look at some constellations, and we’ll look at Saturn and the Moon. At least, that’s the plan—we’ll see if the weather cooperates! We’ll start at 7:00 pm, and I plan to finish around 8:30 pm, or as soon as the Moon rises.

    If you are interested, please turn in completed permission form to Dr. Repp.
