STAR PARTY at the GRIFFITH PARK OBSERVATORY!!!

Hey lovely Ithaca students! I'm sure you are all excited for the long awaited Thanksgiving break, whether or not you are going home or eating your turkey legs at the Oakwoods...

After break, on SATURDAY DECEMBER 6th, there is a "star party" at the GRIFFITH PARK OBSERVATORY. The "party" goes on from 2:45 till 9pm, we were thinking of going around 5pm.

Here is what it says about it on their website:
"Free public star parties are held monthly with the assistance of the Los Angeles Astronomical Society and the Los Angeles Sidewalk Astronomers at the Griffith Observatory from 2:00 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. They are a chance for the whole family to look at the sun, moon, visible planets, and other objects, to try out a variety of telescopes, and to talk to knowledgeable amateur astronomers about the sky and their equipment."

So come and learn about the universe in the beautiful Griffith Park Observatory! And it is 100% FREE!! yessss....
