Families and friends are invited
to visit the Margaret R. Grundy Memorial Library, 680 Radcliffe Street, for a Webb Telescope First Images Celebration
& Star Party on Saturday, October 1, 2022 from 6:00 – 8:00 PM (rain or
shine). Chosen as a “First Images” participant by NASA, the Grundy Library
joined almost 500 other sites to celebrate the James Webb Telescope launch and
now continues to celebrate by displaying some of the first images sent to Earth
by the telescope.
Joining us for the celebration
are astronomy enthusiasts from Bucks-Mont Astronomical Association (BMAA).
Members of the association will be on-site to share their telescopes for moon
watching and star gazing; Saturday, October 1, 2022 is also International Observe the Moon Night, a day
to learn about lunar science and exploration. Other activities include stomp
rockets, arts & crafts, games, a photo booth, space-themed Take & Make kits, and more! Snacks
will be provided. No reservations are required for this free, family-friendly
event.
