Last Saturday I was the guest of the Wells Branch Community Library to give a Getting Started in Astronomy program as part of their Universe of Stories summer program. It was great fun with an engaged group that asked lots of good questions. We discussed everything from armchair astronomy at the library, to finding your way around the sky, and choosing a starter telescope. At least one enthusiast was ready to order a telescope right away.
