Stargazing Program -- Unlocking the Cosmic Secrets: The James Webb Space Telescope

Join the Westminster Astrological Society (WASI) on a captivating journey beyond the visible spectrum! The JWST, humanity’s latest cosmic sentinel, is poised to revolutionize our understanding of the universe. Imagine peering through a veil of dust and time, witnessing the birth of galaxies, the dance of the exoplanets, and the cosmic symphony of star formation. In this exclusive talk, we’ll delve into the cutting-edge science, awe inspiring innovations, and mind-boggling discoveries that await us. Buckle up, stargazers! Webb has already challenged our understanding of the universe and is continuing to unveil the cosmos as never before! Observation of the sky before and after the program will be weather dependent.

Rain or shine, during the indoor portion of the program, you will learn the constellations and have your questions answered about the galaxy. If the weather is clear, the group will spend time outside once it is dark viewing the cosmos through "time machines" (telescopes) provided by WASI. Feel free to bring your own telescope! WASI will assist with setup and focusing as needed. This program is eligible for the Model B Junior Ranger Program. Signup is encouraged. This program will be held even if raining.
