NIXON PARK: Astronomy group is hosting a "sky tour"

As I'm writing this on Sept. 27, I'm looking forward to tonight's full moon and lunar eclipse. If you too love gazing up at our night skies, you might want to join  the"sky tour" that the Chester County Astronomical Society is going to host at  Anson B. Nixon Park on Saturday, October 10, starting at 7 p.m.
"Bring a small flashlight (light pollution), dress for the weather, and meet at the Tino Leto Athletic Fields, North Walnut Street, about ¼ mile north of the main Nixon Park entrance. Several telescopes will be set up for viewing, and celestial wonders will be pointed out using a green laser light. We will also discuss keeping the sky dark (reducing light pollution) for better viewing. For more information, call Pete Kellerman at 610-444-4479 or Don Knabb at 484-888-1831."
