Search the night sky with the help of local astronomers!
Instead of looking down at your phone, lift your gaze upwards to find out what may appear in the winter sky. Amateur astronomer Don Weinell, with the Baton Rouge Astronomical Society (BRAS), will help you search the night sky with a high-powered telescope. Bundle up and meet us to see if you can spot Jupiter, Saturn, or even Uranus in the night sky over Gonzales. Library staff and fellow BRAS members will be on hand with various telescopes to help guide your view and answer any questions you may have.
