One of the upsides to the shortening days of autumn is that there is more time for stargazing! Join local expert Chad Moore and other amateur astronomers from the Western Montana Astronomical Association for an evening of stargazing, telescope viewing, and learning constellations. Viewing opportunities include the crescent moon, all four gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune), the Andromeda Galaxy, and – if we are lucky! – a Leonid meteor or two.
