Spend a fall evening gazing at the stars with the Fort Hays State University Astronomy Club led by Dr. Jack Maseberg and Dr. Paul Adams. Their high powered telescopes will be pointed towards Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and several deep-sky Messier Objects. The Andromeda Galaxy is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light-years from Earth. The telescopes will be pointed towards M31 and nearby M32 and M110.
The International Space Station will flyover early during the presentation as well. The FHSU Maker Van will also be open with a cool Stellarium software you can learn to use at home and also a few astronomy displays and planet models.
Refreshments, a craft, and story telling will be help to round out this "out of this world" evening.
