Speaker: James Albury

Planetarium Director and host of the YouTube Series "The Sky Above Us"




Topic: Florida Skies:  Summer 

Join James Albury, host of the YouTube astronomy program "The Sky Above Us" (TheSkyAboveUs.org), and 2011-2019 co-host of the PBS TV Show "Star Gazers", as he takes you on a personally guided tour of our night sky, using our GOTO Chronos Space Simulator. Florida Skies is our weekly star show that familiarizes you with some of the popular constellations visible from sunset to sunrise, as well as the stories behind them.

 James will talk about all the planets (Mars, Venus and Mercury) moving into the morning sky and the August 24th occultation of Antares (actually visible from GAINESVILLE!).
