Friday night, we decided to have a date night. Western was having an open house at their observatory.
The open house started out with a slide show and sort of lecture about the popular misconseptions associated with astronomy, I went in thinking it might be a little dull, but the lecture turned out to be very interesting, and I learned some pretty neat facts (yeah, I said neat, and now you love me more for it.)
After the lecture we were invited up to the observatory patio to view various telescopes directed at the moon. But the best part of the evening was using the GIANT telescope inside the observatory to view Saturn. It also added to the ambiance of the evening that the professor that showed us Saturn was EXACTLY like Christopher Walken circa "Back to the future" give or take 50 pounds. (More give than take, so maybe not exactly ha ha.)
After our sweet evening of viewing the stars, we headed to Prince Al's for some greasy diner food and strawberry milkshakes!
Definitely a wonderful date night!
