RASC National Society: The Insider's Guide to the Galaxy - Spotting Satellites (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.
Register here! Videos will also be livestreamed to The RASC YouTube Channel.
