Lyme Land Trust Proposes an Astronomy Program

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.
