Inclement weather would result in an indoor event at the Cooper Living and Learning Center for informal discussions about Comet ISON and tools for observing the night sky.
Comet ISON will encounter the Sun this Thanksgiving Day.
The best viewing of this comet may be after it passes the Sun, but the encounter may also destroy it.
Come see this comet before it reaches the Sun!
