Did you know there’s an amateur astronomy scene in DC? DC is an incredible place to observe the heavens and get a sense for how vast and beautiful our universe really is. Get ready to nerd out about space for a few hours – we’re going to discuss observing our own Moon, planets, nebulas, double/triple/quadruple star systems, dead stars, galaxies, and other deep sky objects you can see right from the middle of our city. We’ll talk about the vibrant amateur astronomy community in DC that builds homemade telescopes and does sidewalk astronomy in DC neighborhoods. This is an informal, practical discussion informed by my own personal amateur astronomy journey in DC since 2020 – yes, I got into this because there really is only so much TV you can watch during COVID lockdown.
