SUMMARY:Night Sky Program: The Milky Way
DESCRIPTION:Night Sky Program: “The Milky Way”\nSaturday\, September 5\, 2015 – 8:00-10:00 PM. \nWhat’s that soft\, milky glow stretching across the night sky? It’s the collective light of hundreds of billions of stars in our Milky Way Galaxy\, most of which are too far away to see individually with the unaided eye. But don’t take our word for it: check out the Milky Way in our telescopes and see for yourself! Join us as we explore the many star clusters and nebulae that hide amongst countless distant stars in this amazing swath of sky.

SUMMARY:Night Sky Program: Total Eclipse of the SuperMoon
DESCRIPTION:Special Eclipse-Watching Night Sky Program: “Total Eclipse of the SuperMoon!”\nSunday\, September 27\, 2015 – 7:00-9:30 PM.\nJoin us for a rare treat: watching the Full Moon turn dark and red as it enters the shadow of the Earth!  We will discuss the science behind this Total Lunar Eclipse as we watch it slowly unfold.  The eclipse is visible to the unaided ey\, but telescopes will be on hand for a closer view.  In case that’s not exciting enough\, this eclipse also takes place during a “Supermoon\,” as the Moon will be at its closest to Earth and appearing slightly larger than usual.  This is the fourth and final event of the current tetrad of Total Lunar Eclipses (and the only one to be “super”)\, so don’t miss it!  The next Total Lunar Eclipse is in 2018.
