Comments and anecdotes about the event:
We had a very large group of visitors last night at Garvey. Dave Beraru stopped by with four boxes of of astronomy books. Bob Nolan had his class in the workshop. We had a large group of students from Pasadena City College. The dome was open and everyone enjoyed seeing Saturn and the moon. There were several telescopes being used out on the lawn, too. People enjoyed looking at the Mars globe that LAAS received from Night Sky Network!
