BPAA Grand (Re)Opening
May 14, 2022 @ 3:00 PM
After a 2-year shutdown due to COVID, BPAA is reopening to the public! Join us for an open house event from 3 to 5 pm on Saturday, May 14. Tour the Edwin E. Ritchie Observatory and see the 27.5-inch Ritchie Telescope, the largest publicly-accessible telescope in the Pacific Northwest.
Following the open house, at 7:30 pm we’ll have our first in-person public astronomy talk: John Goar of the Olympic Astronomical Association will describe his personal “Quest to View 100 Comets.”
Masks and proof of vaccination required to attend in person. The presentation will also be live streamed over Zoom.
Weather permitting, we’ll have a star party after the presentation.
Visit bpastro.org for more details.
