Come join us on the Tang rooftop for an evening exploring the cosmos!
This event is organized in collaboration with Albany Area Amateur
Astronomers, who will set up a variety of telescopes for viewing the night sky.
Prior to the viewing, a group of special guests will discuss their different
projects exploring astronomy. Guests speakers include: Skidmore faculty
Margaret Greaves, Assistant Professor of English, and Mary Odekon, Professor of
Physics; Skidmore students August Bomer-Lawson '17 and Guram Vardiashvili '16;
and Joseph Slomka of Albany Area Amateur Astronomers. Stargazing will ensue
following the discussion. Feel free to bring your own telescope if you have one!
