SUMMARY:The Edge of Night
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 weather balloon\, a satellite or debris in outer space? How much actual darkness should be expected in cities of a certain population? There is no other time like twilight. Bring it into your life! [For ages six and older. No admission fee.] \nNOAA Forecast (Good): precipitation potential 14%\, sky cover 29%\, relative humidity 75%\, temperature 26C\, wind SE 10 km/hr

This will be the last total lunar eclipse seen from the Baton Rouge region until the summer of 2029! [Personnel will be at HRPO from 2:30am to 5:15am\, and at the BSC from 3:45am to 6:15am.
