Lake Afton Public Observatory
25 Years of Astronomy: Deep Sky Theme
Sept 22-23
8:00pm-10:00pm

The Observatory is 25 years old! Come and join us for our silver anniversary as we compare what astronomers knew about the universe when we opened in 1981, with what we believe to be true today.

For the deep sky theme we will look at a binary or double star, a star forming region, a star cluster, and a galaxy through our 16 inch telescope and talk about how our understanding of each of these objects has changed during the last 25 years.
