The York County Astronomical Society (YCAS) will offer a public event at its observatory at John C. Rudy County Park, 400 Mundis Race Road, York, on Saturday, Aug. 24. Solar and Radio Astronomy will be presented from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and a Telescope Clinic will take place from 1 to 2 p.m.
The radio astronomy portion of the event will give attendees a peek into the future of the YCAS's radio astronomy endeavors. Radio astronomy is the study of unseen radiated energy in the electromagnetic spectrum below visible light. By using radio astronomy, people are able to study astronomical phenomena that are otherwise invisible.
How to Buy an Astronomical Telescope will provide information and advice regarding how to buy a first optical astronomical telescope.
If it is clear, all activities will occur as scheduled. If it is completely cloudy or raining, the indoor activity of a screen astronomical presentation will occur as scheduled.
