Tonight's lesson: Space weather and solar flares

 

Outer space is not a very friendly place. Solar winds, flares, and high energy radiation bombard anything that is unprotected in our solar system. What types of dangers are out there, and how can we keep our astronauts safe?  Join us to find out!

 

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.
