Really great! Awesome old telescope upstairs. Saw a cool lecture on aliens, and two physics students showed me Jupiter and Saturn through their telescopes. This was a special event around October or so, I don't quite remember. I really enjoyed it.

My daughter and I just went to a great lecture by former NASA astronaut and Iowan Peggy Whitson at the weekly Friday Drake University /observatory fall lecture series on astronomy.
