Come get stars in your eyes-literally!
Take a moment to stop and look up. Jupiter, Mars, and Venus are usually seen in the sky over Gonzales in February. Amateur astronomer Don Weinell, with the Baton Rouge Astronomical Society (BRAS), will help you search the night sky with a high-powered telescope. Library staff and often other BRAS members with different telescopes will be available to guide your eyes.
