Forks Elks Lodge 2425 made a generous donation to the North Olympic Library System. The funds were used to purchase three telescopes for library users to check out and explore the universe. The donation also was used to purchase astronomy books and fund a program at the Forks Library on Aug. 22 featuring NASA ambassador Ron Hobbs.

NASA Ambassador Rob Hobbs will offer opportunities to engage your inner explorer at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Aug. 22, at the Forks Library and again at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 24, at the Sequim Library.

 

Since its beginning 240 years ago, the United States has been the “Exploration Nation,” and for the past 50-plus years, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has led explorations into the Solar System.

 

Now the Internet age allows citizens to participate in that exploration, from just enjoying the views to processing the pictures, to contributing “citizen science.” Hobbs’ talk will review some of the current NASA missions and ways in which everyone can ride along on the adventure.
