Four bright planets — Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Mars — spread across the ecliptic from West to Southeast were the stars of the show at tonight’s “Meet the Stars” public observing event. We also viewed Pluto (maybe) and Neptune, and wrapped up the evening with the Ring Nebula (M57). Venus and Jupiter were bright enough to view even before it got dark. Thanks to current students Steph Tallman, Chandarin Nhol, Angel Garcia-Simental, Nathan Walkowski, and Ali Weesner, and alum Henry Borjas, for making tonight’s event a success!
