This event will occur rain or shine.

CCAS club president Aurora Lipper together with NASA Solar System Ambassador/CCAS club member Brian P. Cox will take you on a tour of the night sky.

In addition, CCAS member Kent Wallace will share astronomical insights throughout the presentation.

Brian will share live telescope views (weather permitting) and will provide a presentation on NASA’s 2011-2012 GRAIL mission.

The planned objects are:

  • Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) (if conditions permit a good view)
  • Rosette Nebula (NGC 2237)
  • Intergalactic Wanderer globular cluster (NGC 2419)
  • UFO Galaxy (NGC 2683)

As part of the presentation, the team will show you how to use Star Charts to help you navigate and find objects. You can download your sky map free here:
