Tuesday, June 7th.  Today the sun will be up for 15 hours and 26 minutes, setting at 9:24.   The moon, 1 day before first quarter, will set at 1:17 tomorrow morning.  Tomorrow the sun will rise at 5:57.

Tonight there’s a free forum at the Dennos museum starting at 7 p.m..  Its called TAPE: Traverse Astronomy, Philosophy, and Energy Forum.  It features Zach Constan of the National Superconducting Cyclotron laboratory at Michigan State, Mary Stewart Adams on the Emmet County Dark Sky Park Committee, and yours truly.  In my part of it, which starts shortly after 7 I’ll talk about how astronomy is connected to all the other sciences, and is the only one where scientific discoveries can be made in the back yard.  I’ll give a bit of the history of the Grand Traverse Astronomical Society, our outreach in the past and the plans for events this summer including 5 nights at the Sleeping Bear Dunes and two asteroid Vesta nights.

* Times are for the Traverse City/Interlochen area of Michigan.  They may be different for your location.
