Don't Forget our April meeting on Wednesday April 5 @7pm at Abrams Planetarium.
There are a bunch of other awesome events going on all month long in association with the Annual MSU Science Festival. I have listed some of the Astro Events below:
April 7 is the MSU Observatory's first Open Telescope night of the season! Come out and get some views through the 24 inch Reflector. Club members usually help by setting up telescopes outside for the crowds, while they wait on the big scope. This is a great time to let the public take a look through your telescope.
Wednesday, April 12, 2023 from 7:30 – 9:30 PM
Film Screening- "Fire of Love"
Abrams Planetarium
"Fire of Love" tells the story of two French lovers, Katia and Maurice Krafft, who died in a volcanic explosion doing the very thing that brought them together: unraveli
ng the mysteries of our planet, while simultaneously capturing the most explosive volcano imagery ever recorded. Along the way, they changed our understanding of the natural world, and saved tens of thousands of lives. Previously unseen hours of pristine 16-millimeter film and thousands of photographs reveal the birth of modern volcanology through an unlikely lens — the love of its two pioneers. A multiple award-winning film from National Geographic Documentary Films and Sandbox Films.
