Ex-NASA official to talk astronomy in SLT

Former consultant to NASA, Kevin Manning, will talk about astronomy May 6 at 6pm in South Lake Tahoe.

This is part of the Star Tour USA 2014: Promoting Scientific Literacy from Coast to Coast features Astronomy for Everyone: Size & Scale of the Universe.

This program is for all ages. It’s about the universe, from the very small to the very large.

The slide presentation and question and answer session will be followed by going outdoors to view celestial objects in the night sky through a powerful custom-designed telescope; such as the rings of Saturn and craters on the moon.

The free event is at the South Lake Tahoe Library on Rufus Allen Boulevard.
