Sharing
the Night Sky!
The Cincinnati Astronomical Society celebrates National
Astronomy Day 2012 by sharing the wonders of the night
sky with children of all ages, families, scouts and teachers.
National Astronomy Day began in 1973. Astronomical
societies, planetariums, museums, and observatories across the country sponsor
public viewing sessions, presentations, workshops, and other activities to
increase public awareness about the profession and hobby of astronomy and our
wonderful universe.
Join us on Saturday April 28th for spectacular
views of the planets Venus, Mars and Saturn. You’ll be amazed by the thousands
of craters you can see on our Moon.
Saturday your family will first enjoy a multimedia presentation,
have plenty of time to have all your astronomical questions answered and then
astronomers will train their four powerful telescopes to the sky. We’ll have
activities & displays for all ages and hot chocolate will be available to
take the chill off. Astronomers will be on hand to answer all your
astro-questions.
(Program and activities are held cloudy or clear, viewing is weather
permitting)
