Telescope Show at Rochester Museum & Science Center Strasenburgh
Planetarium November 10
ROCHESTER,
NY—Just in time for the holiday season, visitors to the Rochester Museum &
Science Center (RMSC) Strasenburgh Planetarium have the opportunity to talk
with experts from the local astronomy club and explore telescopes. The annual
telescope demonstration and show is free to attend and takes place from
10am to 3pm on Saturday,
November 10 in the Planetarium lobby.
Attendees
explore a variety of amateur telescopes and binoculars and talk with their
owners. Friendly volunteers from Rochester's leading astronomy club, the
Astronomy Section of the Rochester Academy of Science, will set up their own
telescopes in the lobby and be on hand to answer questions, such as: What
different kinds of telescopes are available? How much do they cost? What can
you see with them? The event will also include information about where to go
for good sky viewing and how to join the astronomy club.
Visitors
of all ages and levels of experience are welcome, including complete beginners!
In addition, activities for young children will be available.
