Saturday, May 3, 8-11pm Lions Lake, in the Campground
The landscape of the moon is more alien than any on Earth – more forbidding than any desert, any seafloor. There’s no air, therefore no weather. When a meteor slams into the lunar surface, it blasts out a crater, and that crater remains, almost unchanged, for billions of years. I say “almost” because radiation and further meteor blasts do – very, very slowly – “weather” the lunar landscape.
The first quarter moon that shines over this year’s Celtic Festival will be perfectly aligned for viewing the moon’s landscape, and Nevada County Astronomers will be there, with our scopes. Beyond the moon, we’ll be looking into deep space, to observe some of our neighbors in the Milky Way.
Please join us, Saturday night of the festival. – Al Stahler (“KVMR, Soundings”)
