Moon on Cloudy day.

Who among us has not, at some point since last March, turned to gaze up at the night sky? We're not going to presume to know what kind of existential thoughts came to your mind, but we are willing to bet they were deeper than "Is that Cassiopeia?" Now, thanks to virtual skywatching with the Madison Astronomical Society, you can at least have that question answered, if not "What does all this mean?" Members of the society will guide participants across the night sky, explaining the moon, the stars, and whatever other celestial events might be happening that evening. A live telescope feed, weather permitting, is on the docket. RSVP for link.
