The Lincoln
Hills Astronomy Group general
meetings provide residents, from beginners to experts, with a forum to increase their knowledge in astronomy, and to meet people with like interests. General meetings begin with an informal "What's New in Astronomy", followed by the main presentation, and finish with an informal Q & A session. Meetings are supplemented with our annual planetarium trip. Our Next Meeting Wednesday

This presentation is free, and open to all Sun City Lincoln Hills residents. |
