Please join us for the October meeting of the Forsyth Astronomical Society at 7:30 on Wednesday, October 8. The meeting will be held at Kaleideum – located at 120 West 3rd Street downtown in Winston-Salem, NC.
The October program will be the presentation Vera C. Rubin, The Astronomer And An Observatory by FAS member Bruce Gavett.
Bruce will talk about astronomer Vera C. Rubin and the Observatory that was named after her. We will see a few short videos and images recently posted by the observatory.
During the meeting, several folks asked for more details about the observatory and one of its first images – you can find more information here: First Images from The Vera C. Rubin Observatory.
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. Once there, we will proceed to the Digital Dome for the presentation.
When leaving, go out through the same side door and make sure the door is closed tightly behind you.
