100 Hours of Astronomy

I'm not quite sure why I've been so far behind the eight ball lately, but I missed the 100 hours of astronomy this past weekend.  There were many events all around the world for this event that ran from April 2-5.  Locally, there were numerous events scheduled. One in particular was held at Beaver Creek Conservation Area, just south of the city. There was a number of telescopes set up. Some friends of mine from work had gone and were able to look through a telescope for the first time ever. They were thrilled to see astronomical sites such as Saturn.
