Public Observation at Sciworks on Saturday June 11

Update 6/10: It looks like we are finally getting the weather to cooperate. Tomorrow evening’s observation for Sciworks is a resounding GO!!!. Come on out and enjoy an evening under the stars. With VERY mild conditions, almost summer like, you can defiantly forget the jackets but be sure to bring the bug spray. Hope to see you all there!
