Global Astronomy Month

Members of the Harford County Astronomical Society, Bel Air, MD, had planned to set up telescopes and binoculars for a public viewing session.   Since it was completely clouded out, we had indoor presentations and a tour of our observatory located at Harford Community College, Bel Air, MD.  Even though the weather precluded a viewing session, we still had 21 visitors for the night and 12 club members.   We gave out Sun Fact Sheets, Moon maps with moon fact sheets, NASA stickers, Kepler Bookmarks, Stereo Cards, EPOXI cards, Year of Solar System fact sheets, Citizen Scientist sheets and star charts.   We have a brief meteorite presentation that centered around how to identify a meteorite.   We also showed the movie "Journey to the Stars".   While touring the dome area of the observatory a presentation about telescopes and how they were work was also done.   Our program lasted a little more than 2 hours.
