Where can you learn about the country’s first president and immortality all in one weekend? At Western Nevada College’s Jack C. Davis Observatory, of course.
Northern Nevada lecturer Mike Thomas will facilitate this learning when he leads presentations on “George Washington” on Friday, Jan. 20, and “Immortality” on Saturday, Jan. 21.
Both presentations are free and begin at 6:30 p.m. Doors to the observatory open at 6 p.m.
The observatory is open to the public from sundown to 11 p.m. on Saturday nights for Star Parties. The Western Nevada Astronomical Society hosts these parties, bringing together people with an interest in astronomy. Newcomers are always welcome.
Jack C. Davis Observatory is located at 2269 Vanpatten Ave., Carson City, just above WNC’s Carson City campus.
