Stargazing Tonight – Solstice Park – Saturday, March 6, 2010

[Alice]

I declare it is time for another last-minute star party in West Seattle.

* Tonight, Saturday, March 6, 2010

* Start: 9pm – I may leave around 10 or 10:30 unless no one shows up.

* Solstice Park as usual (at the TOP, if you’re by the tennis courts go up) At Solstice Park: 7400 Fauntleroy Way SW

As always, this is if the weather is permitting. If you can see stars I’ll be there (unless it gets really super freezing cold).

Telescopes – Mars first, Saturn later?

I’ll bring a couple telescopes, you should bring one if you have one. We’ll look at Mars definitely, and maybe Saturn if it comes up over the trees in time.

Unfortunately, we’ll miss seeing the international Space Station, but if you wanted to step out of your house earier, you can see it around 7:47pm, starting West-Southwest.

GLOBE at Night

This would be a perfect opportunity to get your GLOBE at Night observations in. Wait, you don’t know about GLOBE at Night? Well check this out – you can help out on a worldwide science project to determine how stargazing quality is changing around the world. Plus, I’ll be around to help out if you need it (but I don’t think you will). The Lat/Long of Solstice Park is (47.536341, -122.39052).

See you tonight!
