SUMMARY:Friday Night Lecture Series: "Protecting the Power Grid"
DESCRIPTION:There are several different ways entire sections of our nation’s Grid can be damaged or destroyed. It’s happened before–at least on a small scale. What about a large-scale event? Many believe it’s a matter of when\, not if. Are we prepared? BREC Center Supervisor James DeOliveira is happy to report that we’re probably more prepared than we were a decade ago. [For ages fourteen and older. No admission fee.]

SUMMARY:Total Lunar Eclipse
DESCRIPTION:NOAA predicts patchy fog between 12am and 7am. Do not visit HRPO if the driving route goes through fog. HRPO will close by at least 2:30am. \nWhile crossing from Leo into Virgo\, our Moon will enter Earth’s shadows. There are a variety of shadings the Moon’s surface can have. This is dependent on the state of the Earth’s atmosphere. Join us if you can. This will be the last total lunar eclipse seen in its entirety from the Baton Rouge area for a long time! [For ages six and older. No admission fee.] \nCLARIFICATION: This event begins late on Thursday night and ends early on Friday morning. \nNOAA Forecast for 11pm to 2am (Fair): precipitation potential 0%\, sky cover 55%\, relative humidity 91%\, temperature 19C\, wind S 9 km/h \nNOAA Forecast for 2am to 5am (Poor): precipitation potential 0%\, sky cover 88%\, relative humidity 94%\, temperature 18C\, wind S 8 km/h

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.]
