Please join us for the January meeting of the Forsyth Astronomical Society at 7:30 on Wednesday, January 14. The meeting will be held at Kaleideum – located at 120 West 3rd Street downtown in Winston-Salem, NC.
The January program will be about the Night Sky as seen from the Southern Hemisphere.
We will visit the night sky visible this time of year, not from here in Winston-Salem, but from south of the equator. We’ll explore the southern circumpolar constellations including the Southern Cross, the constellations of the mythical ship Argo Navis, those surrounding the Magellanic Clouds, and many others. We’ll also have a short presentation by one of our members about his trip to the Atacama Desert.
You don’t have to be a member to attend. If you’re curious and have an interest in astronomy and the universe, come on out! Of course, you can come just for the donuts.
The doors to the building will open at 7:00 pm. The doors will reman locked. Someone will be there to let you in.
We will meet in the 1st floor La STEAM B room. Enter through the side entrance (Members and Group entrance on the left). Go straight ahead into the meeting room.
When leaving, go out through the same side door and make sure the door is closed tightly behind you.
Please DO NOT wander throughout the building – The exhibits are NOT open.
There is no onsite parking, but after 5:00 PM and on weekends, all on-street parking is free (even with the new parking system downtown). The nearest on-street parking is on Third Street and Liberty Street. There are paid decks nearby, with the closest one being Liberty Plaza just south of the museum with entrances on Town Run Lane and Liberty Street. Here is a parking map of downtown.
