Astronomy Course Offered at the Library
News release Ken Graun, author of several introductory books on astronomy, will offer six monthly classes designed for upper high school students and adults. Meetings will take place in the Patagonia Library and adjacent garden. The first session will be held on Sept. 24.
This six-class course, titled Telescopes and Exploring the Night Sky, is for adult and young adult astronomy enthusiasts wanting to get acquainted with the night sky. Participants will learn how to identify the constellations and get experience with telescopes. Learning will be through lectures, demonstrations and actual observing.
Southern Arizona often has clear nights, which should ensure plenty of practice learning the constellations and using the telescopes. This is a course for having fun and learning something new. Reference books and star charts will be provided free for participants to keep. Click here for more information.

In Trees Is the Breath of the World
By Leslie Schupp
October 31, 2019
I have my favorite trees. The first one was an old wind-blasted juniper in the high desert of New Mexico. This was the place where I received my enlightenment, because I felt the tree’s essence or being. It had a soul.
