MOSI Observe the Sky Initiative

MOSI February SkyWatch

Thursday, February 29, 2024

Event

Learn why we have leap years as we observe the familiar winter objects both visually and with Electronically Assisted Astronomy (EAA) which will let us "see" more detail and fainter objects. EAA will show the Orion Nebula in spectacular color and later on, it might even show us the Leo Triplet galaxies!
