Wrapped Up in Reading

As the weather gets warmer, we're drawn outside into the sun. Beach reading season is almost upon us and we've put out the summer books for Danbury High School. Although the days are getting longer and hotter, the balmy evenings invite us to stay up and look up at the night sky.

Books and documentaries about astronomy can be found at the library, and amateur astronomy clubs abound in Connecticut. Astronomers are predicting a particularly spectacular Perseid Meteor Shower this August- it coincides with a new moon, so the skies will be dark and meteors easy to see.

If you're not a night owl, you can still get in on the night sky action with the latest pictures from the Hubble Telescope!
