4) LADD OBSERVATORY HALLOWEEN PARTY: UPDATES

In our previous email, we gave you the heads-up for this Friday's party, so here are the details!

Date: 29th October, Friday
Time: 6-10pm
Venue: Ladd Observatory (210 Doyle Avenue)

Shuttles will run from the Barus & Holley car park to Ladd every half hour from 6-9pm. Return shuttles will run every half hour from 6.30-9.30pm.

As usual, all the colorful fun and goodies, in addition to the normal observing, will take place. Come in costume or not - you'll still get candy. You'll also have a chance to witness two passes of the International Space Station Friday. The first will show up at 6:03, and will be in the sky until 6:09, then at 7:39 another pass will occur for two minutes. Both will be worth watching.
