We have been invited to set up tables for astronomical demonstrations, present two talks and have been asked to host the evening star party. John Reed and I are scheduled to present a talk on asteroids, comets, and meteors. Noreen Grice has asked that our second talk deal with the Aruba eclipse. The evening star party is held on the roof of the parking garage and is attended by hundreds of people. Of course, we'll need many telescopes.
Parking is validated and volunteers usually get free access to the museum.
The evening was clear and mild and the event was attended by about 125 students and parents. They were also joined by parent volunteers Carl Kariger and Ray Guertin. The star party for the Brophy School in Framingham was canceled due to inclement weather on both scheduled evenings. The Sunday Boston Globe is interested in covering this event for an article in the Weekend West section. This event will be rescheduled for the Fall.
