Belk Observatory's "Daytime Sky Series" allows visitors to see the sun, moon, and the facility during the day. It's a more behind-the-scenes-type event, with no structure or flow. Visitors can view the sun through one of the 8-inch Celestron telescopes and the moon with the Gilbert telescope.
This event begins with a "planet walk" and continues with night sky viewing from different outdoor stations at Belk Observatory. Visitors will view the night sky through astronomical equipment, talk with observatory docents, and learn about celestial objects and telescopes.
Kelli List Wells is the founder and CEO of the STEM Leadership Alliance. She will be speaking about the importance of incorporating science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) from kindergarten to the 12th-grade school curriculum.
Members of the Music Department will present a lecture recital, "Off the Beaten Path: Lesser-known Works and Composers."
This event is free and open to the public. Attend this virtual event on YouTube.
