One of the (many) great things about country life is that the sky is usually dark enough to observe planets and constellations.
The Chester County Astronomical Society is hosting a "sky tour" at the Anson B. Nixon Park's Tino Leto Athletic Fields on North Walnut Street starting at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, June 6. According to a press release that the organizers sent me, "The program provides an orientation to the stars and planets with the help of a green laser light, which makes it easier to follow the leaders as they visit (point) to the stars. This is the first late Spring tour we've done and has the advantage of being warm while we view Venus, Jupiter and Saturn as the sky darkens."
Visitors should bring a small flashlight and. Several telescopes will be set up for viewing. If you need more information, the people to contact are Don Knabb of the Chester County Astronomical Society (observing@ccas.us) or Pete Kennedy of Friends of Anson B Nixon (610-444-4479 or pkiii@verizon.net).
