Sidewalk Astronomy tonight!

We'll have a couple telescopes out tonight in Monrovia from 6:30 - 8:30 or so. On display will be the 13-day moon (nearly full) and Jupiter. Stop by if you're in the neighborhood. Also, we now have a date for our twice-annual Mojave National Preserve Star party - May 6. Though this flyer is for last fall's event, you can get a feel for the event, and can RSVP if you'd like to attend. Free camping, bring something for saturday night potluck. You might want a chair to sit in and gaze at the night sky. http://mojavepreserve.org/index.php/site/article/star_party_in_the_mjave_na… Free camping, unlimited stargazing, Comet Pan-STARRS (our March comet) should still be visible. Weather permitting, Mojo and I are planning dark sky observing outings to Amboy Crater March 9 and April 6. Amboy Crater is not a campsite - it's a large parking lot, and we usually snooze in our car a little after observing, and sometimes take a hike to the crater in the morning. If you are interesting in joining us, sent me an email!
