Vermont Astronomical Society at Brownell Library

Over the past few months there have not been many bright solar system objects that have been in a favorable position for observing. That all changes as we enter into the new year of 2025. During the first two seasons of 2025, there will be 4 bright solar system objects which will be favorably placed in our evening skies. These 4 objects will have a very high altitude in the sky which could yield some excellent views. The presenter will do a brief review of the “Why’s” of Lunar and Planetary observing. There will be a short segment on what size aperture works well for a good lunar and planetary telescope in our viewing area. In the 2nd part of the presentation, the presenter will count down the bright solar system objects to the presenter’s top pick of the seasons. Each object listed will have information on its observable features. Presentations will include Constellation of the Month by Terri Zittritsch. Ask for the Zoom link via info@ vtastro.org.
