Astronomers at the Dudley Observatory spent many years carefully measuring the positions of stars in the sky. Now we have space telescopes, like Gaia, that can measure star positions with extreme accuracy. Join us for an update on what astronomers have learned from the Gaia mission.
Night Sky Adventures are astronomy fun for the whole family! Educators from the Dudley Observatory, in conjunction with volunteers from the Albany Area Amateur Astronomers group, present astronomy lessons, planetarium shows and night sky viewing (weather depending). Amateur astronomers and families are invited to bring binoculars or telescopes. One or more telescopes will be provided for public use.
