Do you have an interest in learning more about the stars, planets and outer space? Lyme Land Trust is exploring the establishment of an astronomy program:
- to create an astronomy club that meets regularly
- to find a suitably dark space in Lyme to set up an observation site
- to host astronomy and dark sky programs for the general public.
- Please fill out this survey to let us know about your interest in astronomy.
The astronomy program is being spearheaded by Alan Sheiness and Scott Mallory.
