SUMMARY:Solar Viewing
DESCRIPTION:Weather 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 Libra at a maximum altitude of 42°. Protective clothing and sunscreen are recommended. \nThis special session of solar viewing is programmed due to the predicted increase in solar activity due to Solar Cycle 25. [For ages six and older. No admission fee.] \nNOAA Forecast (Good): precipitation potential 1%\, sky cover 31%\, relative humidity 86%\, temperature 25C\, wind N 11 km/hr

SUMMARY:Science Academy: "Uranus and Neptune"
DESCRIPTION:The ice giants can be spotted from Earth with little difficulty–Uranus with a binocular\, Neptune with a telescope. Their unique color and lack of “twinkle” distinguish them from the stars. Cadets will learn how they were discovered\, what Voyager found out and when we will be sending another spacecraft! [For ages eight to twelve. $5 per EBR-Parish Cadet; $6 per other-Parish Cadet.] \nTo register go to www.brec.org\, access the registration function and use Activity Number 531990.

SUMMARY:The Edge of Night
DESCRIPTION:Due to weather conditions\, the exercises for this event will be incorporated into the Natural Sky Conference on 22 November. HRPO will close tonight at 6:15pm. \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 and Venus or the Moon out? Is that moving object a plane\, a weather balloon\, a satellite or debris in outer space? How much actual darkness should be expected in a light-polluted city when night has come? There is no other time like twilight. Bring it into your life! [For ages six and older. No admission fee.] \nNOAA Forecast (Poor): precipitation potential 19%\, sky cover 63%\, relative humidity 89%\, temperature 26C\, wind E 12 km/h
