Join the Old Town Sidewalk Astronomers at the San Rafael Branch Library in Pasadena Saturday March 29 from 7-9 p.m. The address is 1240 Nithsdale Road, Pasadena, CA 91105. There are map and public transportation links on the library webpage http://www.ci.pasadena.ca.us/Library/sanrafael.asp Weather permitting, we'll be aiming our telescopes at Saturn, Mars and stars. The weather forecast is for mostly cloudy followed by patchy fog, unfortunately. So if it's too cloudy to view through telescopes, we'll still be there to answer questions about sidewalk astronomy, telescopes, light pollution, Saturn, Mars and more. Our friend, Poet Robert Eklund will be at the library too, reading from his new book of poetry called "First Star I See Tonight". From the City website: Lights Out * Walk About Pasadena is our city's unique take on Earth Hour 2008, a global campaign to turn lights off from 8 - 9 p.m. on Saturday, March 29, 2008 and raise awareness about the impact of energy use. It's our way of making the connection between conservation and community. The dome and façade lights at City Hall will go dark for an hour at 8 p.m. on March 29th, signaling to all that energy conservation and a sustainable environment make for a better, stronger community. The City will also host several no/low light events that many Pasadenans can walk to in under 20 minutes. Whatever your plans may be that evening, the City encourages you to try walking to your destination. It's an easy and healthy way to connect with your environment and your neighbors. More city-wide events can be found here: http://cityofpasadena.net/ I hope to see some of you out at the San Rafael Branch Library on Saturday night! If not , I hope you can enjoy one of the other events or create your own lights out event.
