Lake Afton Public Observatory
25 Years of Astronomy: Deep Sky Theme
October 6-7, 27-28
7:30pm-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 Moon and Planet Theme we will look at the Moon, Uranus, Neptune and a star with planets as we discuss recent missions to the moon, the Voyager 2 mission to Uranus and Neptune, and the discovery of extra-solar planets.
