SUMMARY:Natural Sky Conference
DESCRIPTION:Quite possibly the most important three hours a stakeholder will spend at HRPO this year will be this networking conference allowing HRPO parents\, BRAS members and LSU physics professors and students talk to those organizations in the area who have the greatest ability to curb light pollution. Beginning in 2023\, the NSC will incorporate the presentations for buying personal astronomical equipment. [For ages fourteen and older. No admission fee.]

SUMMARY:Baton Rouge Astronomical Society Meeting
DESCRIPTION:For over four decades the Baton Rouge Astronomical Society has educated countless numbers of citizens in the joys of planetary and deep-sky gazing\, the perils of light pollution and factors to consider when buying a pair of binoculars or a telescope. Over the years BRAS members have constructed their own telescopes and photographic platforms; and imaged comets\, earned observing certificates and discovered asteroids. Anyone interested in learning more about BRAS is invited to attend. Walt Cooney\, the man responsible for the majority of the asteroid discoveries at this site\, will speak. [For ages fourteen and older. No admission fee.]

SUMMARY:Uranus Opposition
DESCRIPTION:Uranus is exactly 180 degrees from the Sun\, rising as the Sun is setting. We are now the closest we’ll be to Uranus this year! The light-blue\, high-ice planet (during these years in the constellation Aries) is very compelling. Although rather small due to its distance\, its enormous size and unique color allow one to distinguish it from the stars in the constellation Aries. Jupiter\, Saturn and Neptune will be available also!

SUMMARY:The Edge of Night (Fall Session)
DESCRIPTION:It’s not light\, it’s not dark. It’s that special time called twilight–and HRPO wants to introduce you to it! Are all sections of the sky the same shade of blue? Which stars are seen first? Are Mercury and Venus or the Moon out? Is that moving object a plane\, a satellite or space debris? There is no other time like twilight. Bring it into your life!
