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\, 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; imaged comets; earned observing certificates and discovered asteroids. Anyone interested in learning more about BRAS is invited to attend. [For ages fourteen and older. No admission fee.]

SUMMARY:The Edge of Night (summer session)
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED —  HRPO will close by at least 9pm. \nIt’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 or Venus or the Moon out? Is that moving object a plane\, a satellite or space debris? How much darkness should I expect in a light-polluted city when twilight has passed? There is no other time like twilight. Bring it into your life! [For ages six and older. No admission fee. Binocular strongly recommended.] \nNOAA Forecast (Bad): precipitation potential 31%\, sky cover 66%\, relative humidity 82%\, temperature 28C\, heat index 33C\, wind S 3 km/hr.

SUMMARY:Solar Viewing
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED — NOAA has issued an Excessive Heat Warning lasting until 9pm. The NWS Heat Index Chart indicates “Danger” at this time. \nWeather permitting\, viewing of the Sun’s image in three different manners (indirectly onto a white surface\, directly with safely-filtered optical light and directly in hydrogen-alpha wavelength) will take place. During this time the Sun will be in the constellation Gemini at a maximum altitude of 83°. Protective clothing and sunscreen are recommended. \nThis special session of solar viewing is programmed due to the predicted upcoming peak of Solar Cycle 25. [For ages six and older. No admission fee.] \nNOAA Forecast (Fair): precipitation potential 35%\, sky cover 35%\, relative humidity 73%\, temperature 33C\, heat index 43C\, wind SE 8 km/hr.
