SUMMARY:Astronomy Day - Fall 2024 (Cancelled)
DESCRIPTION:Free the date…\nThe Fall Astronomy Day Event has been Cancelled\nOctober 5\, 2024\n  \nUnfortunately\, due major technical difficulties at the venue\, the Astronomy Day 2024 community outreach event must be cancelled. \nDetails on future activities will be forthcoming\, so be sure to check back on this page\, or sign-up for the announcements email list. \nWhat is Astronomy Day?\nAstronomy Day was born in California in 1973. Doug Berger\, then president of the Astronomical Association of Northern California\, decided that rather than try to entice people to travel long distances to visit observatory open houses\, they would set up telescopes closer to where the people were – busy locations – urban locations like street corners\, shopping malls\, parks\, etc. Today\, Astronomy Day events take place at hundreds of sites across the United States.  Internationally England\, Canada\, New Zealand\, Finland\, Sweden\, the Philippines\, Argentina\, Malaysia\, Iran\, Ireland\, New Guinea plus many other countries have hosted Astronomy Day activities.  Each location plans and executes events that work best for their local area. \nFurther reading: Astronomy Day Fact Sheet – Astronomical League (astroleague.org)  \n  \n

SUMMARY:SF Stargazers - Special Beginners Meeting
DESCRIPTION:At our monthly meeting for May\, the Santa Fe Stargazers (SFSG) will focus on helping beginners to amateur astronomy. \nAlthough we would prefer in-person attendance\, especially by our newcomers to amateur astronomy\, the option is available to participate on-line with Zoom.\nPlease join us! The public\, including families\, is warmly invited to attend our Special Beginners Meeting. \nParticularly if you want to participate on-line\, please sign up with the Santa Fe Stargazers at our website: SFS Website.  Members will receive an email with instructions on how to attend the meeting via Zoom. \nRemember: Both SFSG membership and our Special Beginners Meeting are free of charge. \nWe believe there are only two kinds of amateur astronomers: beginners\, and those who used to be beginners. Both should find this special meeting fun and rewarding. \nFor further information\, please contact the SFSG via email at: events@santafestargazers.org.
