Making sky science memorable and effective

Friday February 21, 2025 9:00am - 10:00am MST

We will become aquainted with space, its size and scale, its contents and our place in the observable universe. Astronomy fills our every day culture. We actually know more astronomy than we realize and Rod will uncover these amazing cultural touchstones.
