That’s some excellent trivia recycling! “Sagan or Reagan” was from our verrrrrry first event in D.C., as a fly-by even!

Photos from our Feb 20th event! Avery Eddins showed us the benefits of radio astronomy and Shashwat Sardesai showed us how ancient civilizations studied and used astronomy. Our game for the evening involved quotes from famous folk and guessing who said it!

Stay tuned for info on our next event!
