Brighton Astronomy Group Blog

Welcome to the Brighton Astronomy Group Blog.

 

This has been an exciting year for us.

 

We started out the year with our 1^st Awards being giving out to our many volunteers and supporters from the following year,  with the help of the NASA Night Sky Network.

 

We were able to successfully get the park at 22^nd and Bromley Lane renamed to “Observatory Park”

 

In March we had our 3^rd annual Messier Marathon at Barr Lake State park and had our biggest turn out to date so far.

 

On the 16^th of May we were invited by the Bromley Creek H.O.A. to host a public star party at Observatory Park. This was our first summer star party and we had over a 120 people from all age groups and walks of life show up, some of the set up telescopes, and other just viewed through ours. Wes and Adam did outreach education on what is a light year, scale of the universe, why images in the telescope do not look like the pictures, and light pollution.

 

And we know have our own web site up and running www.brightonastronomy.com

 

Can’t wait to see how the rest of the year turns out…

 

Thanks for everyone’s support.
