SUMMARY:Naked Eye Astronomy with OCCA
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered…:” what star is that” or “which is the north star” maybe you have never identified the Little Dipper. If so please join OCCA for a fun night of Naked Eye Astronomy. Friday October 17\, 2025\, at OCCA Headquarters located at 7207 State Route 80\, Cooperstown. All are welcome. Please plan to meet at the OCCA office around 7:30p. RAINDATE-SATURDAY\, OCTOBER 18 \nThe goal of this workshop is to assist participants in identifying and appreciating the constellations\, stars and planets visible in the night sky. The night skies of Autumn may lack some of the very bright stars of the winter skies but does afford an excellent opportunity to explore the seasonal constellations. We will view the asterism of the Summer Triangle which will actually be high overhead..  Additionally\, there will be a tour of some well known constellations and stars and discuss the myths and stories for which many are named. Planet Saturn will be visible low on the south eastern horizon. \nAdditionally\, we hope to see the most distant object visible with the naked eye. The Andromeda Galaxy\, often referred to M31\, is located approximately 2.5 million light years away! With proper dark cloudless skies this object is visible if you know where and importantly HOW to look for it. \nWe will meet at OCCA Headquarters/office at 7:30 on 10/17. We will have a brief overview of what we hope to see and a review some astronomy terms. Please if you have any questions write them down so we can discuss. I have found that your Astronomy question is likely one which many other folks have as well. \nThe program\, should last 45-60 min. \nNo need to bring binoculars or telescopes\, this is “Naked Eye Astronomy”. Do bring a comfortable lawn chair\, warm clothes maybe even a blanket.
