The Sky this Month (April)

Gettysburg College PR

Sunday, March 29, 4:00 PM
Tuesday, March 31, 7:00 PM

We'll be looking at the skies of April, including a favorable year for the Lyrid meteor shower. Other topics will include the latest from the DAWN spacecraft at Ceres and a recap of last month's solar eclipse, including a report from Our Man in Copenhagen.

The History of Astronomy at Gettysburg College ~a planetarium show~

\
Want to know where on campus this beauty used to stand? What was in an 1850s astronomy course? Or who taught it?

Come to the Hatter Planetarium (Masters 115) at 3:00 on Friday 3/20 (with refreshments) or 4:00 on Sunday (without). The show is free and open to the public and will last about 50 minutes.

7PM show tonight cancelled

OK, folks, the weather is not cooperating for our March skyshow. Due to the freezing mess that's due to plow through the area around show time, we are cancelling tonight. We won't let the show prep go to waste, however, so look for a blog post in this space on Thursday covering the material that would have been in the show. Stay safe and enjoy the evening.

And mark your calendars for "The History of Astronomy at Gettysburg College":
 Friday, March 20, 3:00 PM (refreshments served)
 Sunday, March 22, 4:00 PM

SUNDAY 3/1 Show Cancelled

Sorry for any inconvenience, but looking at the NWS Winter Weather Advisory and the likelihood of a switch to freezing rain right around show time, I have decided to cancel today's Sky this Month Show.

You can still hear about the sky in March and recent astronomy news at the Tuesday at 7:00 PM showing!
