SUMMARY:Universe in the Park
DESCRIPTION:A typical Universe in the Park (UitP) session begins just after sunset with a 30-40 minute talk and slide show about astronomy. While particular topics are left up to the presenters\, they usually give a broad overview of one or two astronomy topics. Recent astronomical news is frequently discussed\, such as the discovery of new solar systems\, the demotion of Pluto\, and the latest results from the Hubble Space Telescope. \nAt the conclusion of the talk\, weather permitting\, we set up a moderate aperture (8″-10″) telescope and provide park visitors the opportunity to view available astronomical objects. UitP sessions run as long as there are people interested in looking through the telescope\, and the parks typically close before the interest has been sated. \nThough all are welcome\, the talk is best suited for ages 8+\, and telescope viewing for ages 4+. \nThe program is free\, but a vehicle admissions sticker/pass is required.
