They’re too small to be stars, yet too big to be planets – so what exactly are they? Join us on Saturday, June 27th, as Samantha Lambier explores the strange world of brown dwarfs in her talk, “Brown Dwarfs: Failed Stars or Overachieving Planets?” Discover how these mysterious objects form, why they never ignite like true stars, and what studying them reveals about the blurry boundary between stars and planets. 🪐⭐

If the skies are clear, we’ll have our telescopes ready for night sky observing. Engage with expert astronomers and ask your burning questions – this event is perfect for anyone interested in the wonders of the night sky, whether you’re a seasoned astronomer or just starting out. 🌟

Admission is completely FREE and open to all. No registration required! Drop by for a unique evening under the stars – ideal for families, students, seasoned stargazers, and anyone curious about the universe.
