"Beautiful Science," a new exhibit at the Huntington Library and Museum, opens on November 1. In celebration, some of the gang from the Old Town Astronomers will be manning solar telescopes throughout the day at the Huntington. If you’ve ever wanted a safe and close-up view of our nearest star, this could be your chance.
Many other opening day presentations and performances are also a part of this special day at the Huntingon. General information, including admission information for the Huntington, is available here.

"What's Up?" for October
The "What’s Up?" for October has been posted. It has a bit on spotting Mercury in the morning sky later in the month, and spotting Jupiter and Venus in the evening sky.

Monrovia Sidewalk Astronomy
The monthly Monrovia sidewalk astronomy event is this Saturday, from about 7:30pm - 9:30pm. The moon and Jupiter are both well-placed for observing. Early observers may get a brief peek at a small, gibbous Venus, low in the west-southwest, just after sunset.
I think there's a Friday solar observing event in connection with a Girl Scout's thing in the area, too. Not sure if it's actually a "public" event, though. I'll post more once I learn the details.
