🌍 From cosmic dust to the world beneath your feet – how did our solar system transform from a swirling cloud of particles into the planets, moons, and asteroids we see today? Join us this Saturday at Cronyn Observatory for "Dust to Planets: The Birth of Our Solar System" by Toni Cordeiro de Almeida. Journey back 4.6 billion years to witness the incredible story of how gravity, chemistry, and time sculpted our cosmic neighborhood. Discover how astronomers piece together this ancient tale using meteorites, planetary observations, and cutting-edge simulations.

If the skies are clear, we'll have our telescopes ready for night sky observing. Engage with expert astronomers and ask your burning questions – this event is perfect for anyone interested in the wonders of the night sky, whether you're a seasoned astronomer or just starting out.
🌟 Admission is completely FREE and open to all. No registration required! Drop by to add a spark of celestial magic to your evening - ideal for a unique night out, a memorable date, or a family adventure.
