Astro Event This Saturday Night - Sept. 18th!

Guerrilla Astronomy! Saturday night from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., I'll be posted at the NE corner of 2nd and Chestnut Sts. in downtown Philadelphia with a really good telescope inviting folks to have a look at Jupiter and the moon! The weather forecast looks great for the evening and I'm betting that most people have never seen Jupiter through a telescope. Have you? Also most people don't realize that Jupiter is so easy to see in the night sky. So I'm going to do what I can to change that.

Why 2nd and Chestnut? 
Because that's where Eulogy is of course! No... just kidding (although that IS a definite advantage......). I chose that location because....No. 1 - the NE corner has a good shot at the parts of the sky where Jupiter and the moon are visible and...No. 2  - there should be a lot of foot-traffic in that location considering that there are quite a few popular restaurants and bars there.

Why this Saturday?
It's International Observe the Moon Night and Jupiter looks great in a telescope.

Coming to Center City this Saturday night? Stop by and check me out!!
