The York County Astronomical Society (YCAS) will host a public Starwatch at its observatory at John C. Rudy County Park, 400 Mundis Race Road, York, on Saturday, March 9, at 7 p.m. The evening will begin with a screened astronomical presentation on current events and the March night sky. Guests will then be guided on a tour of the sky using one of the club's telescopes.
Attendees will be shown celestial objects, including the planet Mars, the Andromeda galaxy, star clusters, nebulae, and more. Hot beverages and light refreshments will be available.
If it is clear, all activities will occur as scheduled. If it is completely cloudy or raining, the indoor activity of a screened astronomical presentation will occur as scheduled. When arriving at the park, drivers should use the main park entrance, not the administrative office entrance.
The event is free and open to the public. Donations will be accepted. More information on YCAS events is available at http://www.facebook.com/astroyork.
