Sidewalk Stargazing at Flatbread's was a big success! We had steady traffic and a big group of middle school students. Venus was sharp right to the horizon, the near 1st quarter moon, and then Jupiter were all big hits, but the highlight was a great pass from the International Space Station. Thanks to Dan Carnevale with his Traveler and Tyler Faits with a Teleview Genesis for tirelessly showing off the sky and answering "extra credit" questions from 5th graders, and to Jonathan Klinkowski for manning the busy raffle table.
Special thanks to Cathy Faits for getting us the pizza and her painting and to Peter Scherff for donating a meteorite and putting together the Arunah display, and to Eric and the staff of Flatbread's for hosting us.
We raised a little money for Arunah, got to show off the night sky, and even might have picked up a new member or two! Not bad for a Tuesday night.
