Space Weather : The Weather Of The Solar System.
We have lots of weather on Earth... But there is also weather in our solar system! The atmosphere of the Sun and objects in our solar system create events that all contribute to what is called "space weather."
Much work has been done in the field of space weather, so much that we actually have forecasts for it!
Join us as Bill McClain gives us an overview of space weather and the basics behind space weather forecasting.

What is a star party?
BSAS members bring and set up telescopes and information at local parks, everyone is invited to come and enjoy the view! Free, open of everyone of any age. These are usually weather permitting, so check back to see if we are still on if it's cloudy or threatening rain.
In honor of the 90th anniversary of BSAS, we partnered with Hatch Show Print to create a unique, limited-run poster! A great gift for anyone interested in astronomy.
