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.
