KENNEBUNK — Scott Negley will be at the Kennebunk Free Library at 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 19 to discuss the total lunar eclipse that will begin on Jan. 20.

Negley will also talk about the 2024 total solar eclipse that will be visible in northern New England and review the bright stars and constellations of the spectacular winter sky (which has more bright stars than any other time of the year).

He owns and operates a portable planetarium system for presenting astronomy programs to elementary and middle school classes in northern New England. Educated initially as an engineer, a binocular tour of the heavens ignited a passion for the stars that led him to the University of Pennsylvania for a M.S. degree in astronomy and a 40-plus year career as an astronomy educator.

He’s been privileged to convey the splendor of the universe to students of all ages, initially as a university instructor, then as a school district planetarium director, adult school teacher and elder hostel instructor. As a Solar System Ambassador, Scott enjoys the opportunity to educate and inspire others with NASA’s magnificent discoveries.

This program is free and wheelchair accessible. The Kennebunk Free Library is located at 112 Main St. in Kennebunk.
