The Fall Sky: What to See, What to Do

The Southern Vermont Astronomy Group will be holding its monthly meeting on Tuesday evening at 8PM, the 12th of August, to discuss the approaching objects to see in the sky as summer wanes and the leaves begin turning.

This meeting will include a discussion about the water now confirmed on Mars, and there will also be a demonstration showing the basics of finding ones way in the night sky using your naked eye and some clever memory tricks. If clear, attendees will be able to cruise the night sky with SoVerA members, using laser pointers and star charts. All of the above is free and open to the public.

The Southern Vermont Astronomy Group (SoVerA) is an organization composed of amateur and professional astronomers, educators, students and members of the lay public. SoVerA is dedicated to making astronomy much more accessible to all. Talks and presentations are free, open to the public, and held at the Whiting Library, lower level, on the second Tuesday of every month.
