"Exploring the Wonders of Our Solar System: A Journey Across Planetary Realms."
Tonight, we embark on a cosmic voyage, traversing the vast expanse of space to unveil the marvels and mysteries that inhabit our celestial neighborhood. We will embark on a grand tour of our solar system, from the scorching inferno of Mercury to the icy depths of the Kuiper Belt. Along the way, we will encounter gas giants adorned with swirling storms, rocky worlds scarred by eons of cosmic collisions, and icy moons harboring secrets of their own.
May highlight: The Eta Aquarids meteor shower. It is produced by dust particles left behind by comet Halley, which has been observed since ancient times. The shower runs annually from April 19 to May 28.
All programs are Rain or Shine. Time machines will be provided by the Westminster Astronomy Club.
