Notice regarding the What's Up link

We've never really been very good about keeping the "What's Up" page up to date (sorry about that), so we made it a little easier on us, and yet still useful to you. Check it out for a useful summary of 'what's up' for the entire year, including the current month's lunar phases, when the planets are visible, which meteor showers will be good for the year, and when this year's new moons occur. Click to it and check it out!

COOL ALERT:
***Check This Out***

A new link to Alexander Edens' website with an excellent set of video tutorials on how to paint a beautiful glow-in-the-dark night sky on the ceiling.
