The Grange is starting their Fall Lyceum Series on the Subject of Navigation. An in-person presentation and discussion in two-parts, Lisabeth Kissner will first give some historical perspective on astronomy and space science, and then demonstrate how to visualize the space around us, observe the sky and distinguish common celestial phenomena. A special digital program will help us “see” the night sky in the Adirondacks.
Lisabeth Kissner is the director of the Northcountry Planetarium as well as a lecturer of astronomy and the faculty advisor for the Galilean Society Astronomy Club at SUNY Plattsburgh. Lisabeth has been appointed a Solar System Ambassador, by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. As an ambassador, Lisabeth coordinates and conducts events or programs which feature either information on NASA’s space exploration missions, celestial phenomena, or dark sky awareness.
When: Tuesday, Sept. 28, 2021, 7:00PM
Suggested donation for the Lecture: $5.00 per lecture/students FREE
The Lyceum Series will continue their “Navigation” series – Using Maps to Navigate Space and Place on Lake Champlain on Tuesday, October 5th. Visit www.thegrangehall.info for additional links and information as they are updated.
