November 4 – All About Stars
Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are? In this presentation, we’ll take a look at stars – big ones, small ones, explosive ones, sputtering ones, brand new ones, ancient ones, and ones that are long dead. We’ll also take a look at the November Night Skies and highlight star birth, life and death.
Presented by Alex Hall
