Hello everyone! Tonight, due to the hype of the mid-term elections, we will not be having an astronomy night. We encourage anyone 18 and over to go out and vote! Next week though we plan to have an astronomy night as normal. We hope to see you there!

"Astronomy is older than physics. In fact, it got physics started by showing the beautiful simplicity of the motion of the stars and planets, the understanding of which was the beginning of physics. But the most remarkable discovery in all of astronomy is that the stars are made of atoms of the same kind as those on the earth. "
