The founder and owner of Clear Sky Events, Kevin Rehberg, will tell us all about his visionary company and how it all got started. I attended one of his events and it’s best described as the first smart telescope-based event experience bringing the wonders and beauty of the universe to your outdoor space. This is a very different kind stargazing event.  

 
Tonight’s presentation is entitled: Journey to a Comet by club member Greg Shanos. Greg’s interest in astronomy began back in 1985 when he witnessed the apparition of Halley’s Comet. Currently the internet is ablaze with the recent passage of interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS, raising awareness for the general public. Greg will discuss the composition of comets, the six spacecraft that have visited various comets with a focus on organic molecules that have been discovered.
