Join us this evening to say goodbye for another year to the beautiful star pattern known as the Summer Triangle where we’ll see the Ring Nebula, an exploding star, and the beautiful blue and gold star Alberio. The planet Jupiter, will also be just visible above the trees as it gets dark. By this time, we will know for sure the fate of Jupiter’s new Red Spot Junior and whether or not it has combined with the Great Red Spot. Early fall skies can be wonderful, so please plan to attend! Hosted by Val Germann and cosponsored by the Central Missouri Astronomical Association.
