Please come to Wrightstown Friends Meeting to participate in a Star Gazing night. This is an event for all ages and and for anyone who might like to learn about the dark Autumn Sky. Invite friends, perhaps invite neighbors or friends from school.
Friday, Nov. 22 (unless it's cloudy) Saturday Nov. 23 (if postponed.)
Doors open 6:30 PM
We will begin in the social hall with cider and hot chocolate. If you would like to bring a dessert, that would be great.
At 6:45 PM, Linc Merwin will give an introduction to the night sky. We will learn what constellations we might see and learn about stellar movements.
Around 7 we will move outside to gaze at the star patterns and to learn a bit about the sky.
