CAPTURING STARLIGHT- Student Astronomy in the NEK by Bill Vinton, President, Northeast Kingdom Astronomy Foundation. CATAMOUNT ARTS BUILDING on EASTERN AVE. in ST. JOHNSBURY on THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 2018 1:30 PM- 3pm

A presentation on how students are doing hands-on, authentic science, using the sophisticated Northern Skies Observatory and a robotically controlled, research grade telescope. Vinton will discuss the importance of having such research and viewing such opportunities.

Join the St. Johnsbury Osher Lifelong Learning Institute of the University of Vermont to explore a variety of topics and issues. There is a series of eight lectures on Thursdays at 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Catamount Arts, Eastern Ave. St. Johnsbury, starting on March 8, 2018 to April 26, 2018.

Membership is $30. Non-members may attend any single session for $6.

There's an interesting topic for everyone. Even if you may not be particularly interested in a certain topic, come on over for it anyway. It's a worthwhile hour- and -a - half for a few weeks. You never know what you may learn! And that's the whole idea...to keep on learning lifelong!
