Event Description: 

Join us for a night devoted to the stars and constellations of the winter sky as Ralph Yulo returns to Goodwin. First, we will learn some basic astronomy inside and get oriented to the night sky, then head outside to enjoy the beauty and wonder of the starry sky. 

Dr. Ralph J. Yulo Jr. is a Professor of Science Education emeritus at Eastern Connecticut State University and an avid star gazer. Note: This is a repeat program from last year. If you have attended a summer stargazing program, please feel free to arrive 30 minutes after starting time as the beginning of the summer and winter lessons are similar.
