BPL has a fun, relaxed event tomorrow night (Friday, Oct. 3) at Auerfarm. In celebration of International Observe the Moon Night, we’ll be doing a moon viewing party at Auerfarm! I have several members of the Astronomical Society of Greater Hartford coming with various kinds of telescopes. They’ll also be happy to answer some basic questions about the moon and what we’re viewing. There are no chairs, so I do encourage families to bring lawn chairs if they want to sit and relax. I plan to bring my own binoculars (which do a pretty good job of getting a close look at the moon’s surface). It’s a fun, family-friendly event for a Fall Friday 

Registration is appreciated (but not required) at:
