Useful links for you!
For those of you who want to see what things in the sky really look like, here's a list
of observatories around Atlanta, all with free admission. Be sure to check the weather first though.
Clouds block the sky!
- Bradley
Observatory at Agnes Scott University - open second Friday
of each month during the academic year at 8:00 p.m. Usually
includes lecture, planetarium show, and a look through the
telescope if it's clear.
- Fernbank
Science Center - open most (clear) Thursday and Friday nights
from dark or 8:00 p.m. (whichever is later) - 10:30 p.m. Views through
the telescope are free, and there is also a planetarium show for a
small fee.
- Hard
Labor Creek Observatory run by Georgia State University - open
at sunset one Saturday night each month between March-October. It's an amazing
experience if you haven't seen the sky without light pollution in a while.
If it's cloudy, there is an astronomy slide show and observatory tour.
Here are some other generally interesting links to various pretty pictures and other good stuff.
