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
