scheduled
The June meeting of the Lake County Astronomical Society will be Friday, June 21st at the Volo Bog Visitor's Center. Our guest speaker will be Jim Kovac from The Chicago Society for Space Studies. Jim has been a speaker at LCAS meetings in the past and this is sure to be a very educational and fun event. The title of the talk will be, "Extreme Exoplanets -- Part 2". As the catalog of confirmed exoplanets has grown, astronomers have recognized the wide range of projected environmental characteristics that render these worlds truly unique and challenging for life as we know it. Join the continuing exploration as we examine bizarre exoplanets that differ significantly from our home world. Please note the start time will be 7 PM. Please join us.
Weather permitting LCAS members using their powerful telescopes will show the night sky to guests.
