September 2025 FAS Meeting (Wednesday, September 10)

Please join us for the September meeting of the Forsyth Astronomical Society at 7:30 on Wednesday, September 10. The meeting will be held at Kaleideum – located at 120 West 3rd Street downtown in Winston-Salem, NC.

The September program will be Pluto and Beyond by FAS member Ralph James.

Ralph will update us on everyone’s favorite ex-planet (now dwarf planet) Pluto. He will go well beyond the former 9th planet and follow the path of the New Horizon’s spacecraft that paid a visit to Pluto ten years ago in August and reached the Kuiper Belt object known as Arrokoth.

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.
