CLASS # 2:  THE SOLAR SYSTEM
Monday, July 1, 2019  7:00 - 8:30 p.m.
We explore our own little niche in the galaxy.   Our solar system consists of a blazing hot star encircled by a retinue of exotic worlds: Rapid Mercury, brilliant Venus, verdant Earth, blood-red Mars, giant Jupiter, magnificent Saturn, strange Uranus, and azure blue Neptune.  (We won't forget poor, neglected Pluto.)  Join us for this odyssey through the solar system.   The class ends with a presentation of the planetarium show, "Eight Planets and Counting."

What are celestial exploration classes? Simple. This course consists of eight "stand alone" astronomy classes designed for anyone!   You may enroll in any or all of these different classes.   As they are not continuous, a student can pick and choose the classes that interest him/her the most.   We have stand alone classes about the moon, the Sun, galaxies space weather and even a class about the Big Bang

You are welcome to attend any or all of these classes.    You may register by calling  207-780-4249 or by contacting the manager at [log in to unmask].
