Four telescopes will be open for viewings, with TAAA members pointing out the planet Mars, the Great Square, and the Andromeda Galaxy, the farthest entity in the sky that a person can see with the naked eye. They will also be at Booth-Fickett Math-Science Magnet School at 7 p.m., Oct. 28, on the west side of the school.

The TAAA is a local group of astronomers, amateur to professional, who regularly share their knowledge with Tucson-area students. Free hot cocoa and pie will be available to all who attend.
