June 14, 2017 - Join Douglas (Doug) Parsons, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Tyler Junior College, for a night sky program at Caddo Mounds SHS.
Doug will bring an array of telescopes - from a modest 4 inch diameter telescope to the large 20 inch diameter telescope. You are invited to bring your own telescope, picnic blankets and lawn chairs.
Saturn will be high in the sky during this time as will the center of our galaxy (so lots of clusters and nebulae).
