ROCKLAND Ron Thompson, of Southern Maine Astronomers, will present Astronomy 101 at the Rockland Public Library on Tuesday, March 7 at 6 p.m. The program will be divided into two parts: indoor background information followed by outdoor exploration, so please be sure to dress appropriately. <\/p>\n
Thompson will first present information about sky maps, star charts and using eyes to navigate the night sky, how to prepare for an evening of star gazing, and how to identify March constellations, and other pertinent tips. <\/p>\n
Then participants will go outside and find north using the Big Dipper, Ursa Major and charts; face south and find the path the planets take (ecliptic), and outline and identify constellations, and more. If the night sky is not clear, participants will take part in interactive activities indoors. <\/p>\n
This program is co-sponsored by Cornerstones of Science, and is free and open to the public. <\/p>\n
