Researcher Vitalii Shermet will share his enthusiasm for astronomy and some amazing sky views during winter solstice week.  We will try to measure the exact time of sunset each day in order to study the effect of light refraction near the horizon and pinpoint the exact moment when the last ray of sun vanishes. Join Vitalii for close up observations of the winter sky while you celebrate the changing season at beautiful South Cape Beach State Park. Bring binoculars if you have them. Please see the attachment for more in depth details from Vitalii.

Please check the weather. Cloudy, overcast, rain or snow cancels. Dress warmly for the outdoors and meet at Mashpee town beach parking lot at South Cape Beach.
