Mike Thomas' Feb. 17 and 18 Presentations at JCDO Canceled

Feb 11, 2023

Northern Nevada lecturer Mike Thomas' “Forgotten History” and “NASA, the Early Years” presentations scheduled for this weekend have been canceled.

They were scheduled for Friday, Feb. 17 on Saturday, Feb. 18 in Jack C. Davis Observatory. 

However, the weekly Star Party on Saturday night is still planned. And JCDO Director Dr. Thomas Herring will provide a presentation focusing on a roundup of astronomy events.

The observatory is open to the public from sundown to 11 p.m. for Star Parties on Saturday nights, unless it is a holiday or snow covers the road up to the observatory. The Western Nevada Astronomical Society hosts these parties, bringing together people with an interest in astronomy. Newcomers are always welcome.

Jack C. Davis Observatory is located at 2269 Vanpatten Ave., just above vlog’s Carson City campus.
