Hosted by
Westminster Astronomical SocietyIf you are local to the Baltimore, MD area and have an interest in astronomy, why not stop by the Soldiers Delight Visitor Center at 5100 Deer Park Rd., Owings Mills, MD 21117 on Saturday evening, May 18, at 8:00pm. I am the host for these events which are scheduled for the third Saturday of each month - April through October. Each month I present a 'down-to-earth' presentation based on some specific area of Astronomy and Space. Presentations can be fairly detailed (to keep the adults interested), but I always try to make sure everyone learns something. And yes, they are kid-friendly, and frequently include a hands-on fun project (to keep the younger crowd happy too). As a bonus, if the sky is clear, telescopes are usually set-up to observe something after the lecture.
May's topic is: "Exploring the Wonders of Our Solar System: A Journey Across Planetary Realms."
Tonight, we embark on a cosmic voyage, traversing the vast expanse of space to unveil the marvels and mysteries that inhabit our celestial neighborhood. We will embark on a grand tour of our solar system, from the scorching inferno of Mercury to the icy depths of the Kuiper Belt. Along the way, we will encounter gas giants adorned with swirling storms, rocky worlds scarred by eons of cosmic collisions, and icy moons harboring secrets of their own.
All programs are Rain or Shine. Time machines will be provided by the Westminster Astronomy Club.
Specific details can be found at Night Sky Network.
