RASC National Society: The Insider's Guide to the Galaxy - Mars Fest 2020 (ONLINE)
Join us online to learn basic astronomy that you can do on your own from your backyard!
We'll be hosting introductory astronomy courses every other Tuesday at 3:30pm EDT. They'll give you the tools to learn astronomy on your own at home, along with some observing goals to try. All you need is your computer! A pair of binoculars will help, but are not necessary.

And we'll explain the difference between Mars’ closest approach today, and its official opposition on October 13th.
