Heavenly News & Views As we enter the new year, another opportunity to share our passion for amateur astronomy has been put into motion. Starting January 7th, the Mountain Democrat will be running a column entitled "Heavenly News & Views" to be authored by members of the observatory docent team. This is an opportunity to share timely cosmic events with the public and to promote the observatory. Click the link below to view the full article as a pdf file.
