Look Up! — Explore the World of Astronomy
By: Heidi Herald
Next Monday, July 30th, Steve Haines from the Indianapolis Astronomical Society will present a program on Astronomy at the Fishers Library at 7 PM. Geared towards adults, this program would also be interesting to kids 8+ with an interest in Astronomy. Steve is a regular presenter at the Indianapolis Children’s Museum and a very knowledgeable speaker. You can sign up to attend here.
