Earth turns on its axis; stars fuse hydrogen into helium; our galaxy is one of billions in a vast expanding universe. These are all things we learn in school, but who were the amazing men and women who discovered them? Find out while using a large telescope at Lake Afton Public Observatory to observe objects such as Saturn (through Sept. 13), a multiple star system, a cluster of stars, a planetary nebula and a distant galaxy. "Famous Astronomers" will be presented on Friday and Saturday evenings of July 18-19 and 25-26; Aug. 15-16, 22-23 and 29-30, and Sept. 12-13, 19-20 and 26.
