Moon Struck - View the Moon with the San Jose Astronomical Association

There will be a fun moon related craft program starting Thursday, November 6th at 4:45 p.m. and ending at 5:10 p.m. This craft project is geared for school age children and will be held in the library's program room. At 5:15 p.m. there will be a fun puppet program held in the Children's area and at 5:45 we'll break for an opportunity to check out additional stargazing books and materials. When the library closes at 6:00 p.m. (weather permitting) we'll have the opportunity to observe the night sky courtesy of the San Jose Astronomical Association. Chief astronomer, Jim Van Nuland commented "we'll have lots of good stuff to show -- a nice quarter moon, bright Jupiter, faint Uranus, the Ring Nebula, the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules, colorful double star Albireo in Cygnus, probably a galaxy or two if the air is clear enough." This should be a great event for the entire family.This event takes place in the Program Room, Children's Area and Outside of the Library.
