SUMMARY:January 5\, 2024 Astronomy Observing Session
DESCRIPTION:CHANGED: If we get clear skies Friday\, we should be able to observe several prominent winter-sky nebulae as well as Jupiter and Saturn. I will also attempt to land the 14” telescope on Comet 144P/Kushida. I admit in advance that I haven’t previewed it so I’m not at all sure if it can be captured! \nJupiter is high in the southern sky as darkness sets in and Saturn is advancing closer to the western horizon. Orion\, Gemini and Taurus are now high in the southeastern sky. The Big Dipper remains below Polaris\, obscured by the tree line. \nWe have several different telescopes that are on display including a 14″ Schmidt-Cassegrain housed in a permanent observatory. Inside the observatory\, you can watch deep sky objects grow in detail and full color on a wall-mounted monitor. Public sessions are co-facilitated by one or more of our talented cohort enthusiasts: \n\nMark Borton\nRoger Charbonneau\, Jr\nJon Dean\nJay Drew\nScott Mallory\nJohn Natale\nParag Sahasrabudhe\nAlan Sheiness\n\nYoung or old\, experienced or totally unfamiliar\, we look forward to exposing you to our uniquely dark skies here in Lyme. Upon registration you will receive a link to directions and observing session guidelines. For questions or comments\, please contact us at astronomy@lymelandtrust.org. \nClear skies! \nPS \nIf you like these programs and you are not currently a Lyme Land Trust Member\, please consider joining us using the green Become A Member link at the top of the LLT page.

SUMMARY:January 24\, 2024: A World Without Dark Skies: How Light Pollution is Impacting Humans and Ecosystems\, and What You Can Do
DESCRIPTION:Registration appreciated: education@lymelandtrust.org \nJoin Misha Semenov-Leiva and Alan Sheiness for a presentation to learn about light pollution in the Connecticut River Valley. Find out about the effects of an artificially brightened night sky\, including the effects on natural cycles in aquatic and terrestrial life. Alan will talk about his love of astronomy and the wonder of the dark night sky unaffected by artificial light. Misha will open our eyes to the many ways light pollution affects the flora\, fauna\, and our health; and present simple site lighting design changes that can thwart impact while promoting safety. \nAlan Sheiness is founder of the Lyme Land Trust Astronomy program\, which holds regular public astronomy observing sessions. He is a promoter of dark skies and amateur astrophotographer. \nMisha Semenov-Leiva is a board member of the CT River Gateway Commission. He is Senior Architect & Sustainability Coordinator with Centerbrook Architects. With his background in ecology and design\, he believes that design can be informed by a knowledge of nature. \nCo-sponsored by the Lyme land Trust and the Hadlyme Public Hall \nNote about Directions: The Hadlyme Public Hall\, 63 Ferry Rd\, Lyme\, is at the intersection of Ferry Road (Rte 148)\, Day Hill Road\, and Joshuatown Road about 1/2 mile east of the Hadlyme Country Store. Make sure that your GPS sends you to Ferry Road in Lyme\, not Old Lyme. \n  \nPS \nIf you like these programs and you are not currently a Lyme Land Trust Member\, please consider joining us using the green Become A Member link at the top of the LLT page.
