LONDONDERRY: Stars and planets

My friend Kevin Witman of Cochranville will be "starring" in an astronomy evening outside the Londonderry Township building, 103 Daleville Road, starting at 8:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 21. Kevin will bring along his amazingly powerful telescopes. I went to one of these stargazing evenings a few years ago, and there's something astonishing about actually being able to see planets and stars that are so far away. It helps that Kevin is such a patient and enthusiastic guide.
