It’s a cosmic night at the library!
Take a moment to stop and look up. In early March, Jupiter and Uranus are the more visible planets in the night sky. 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 occasionally other BRAS members with different telescopes will help guide your eyes.
