From Library Director, Jeff Reynolds, at the MVAS monthly meeting at WPL

"We are so fortunate to have the Mohawk Valley Astronomical Society as our partner in the Barton-Brown Observatory. What a treasure it is for our greater Waterville community!"

"Perry Pezzolanella reprises his presentation earlier this year about the New Horizon mission to Pluto with a stunning update. We now now that Pluto is way more than a far flung 9th rock from the Sun. The images are in, and it’s a wonder!"

"A highlight of the New Horizons fly-by: Methane glacier field the size of Texas, 11,000 foot peaks of frozen nitrogen, volcanos, lakes, canyons and a thin, albeit toxic atmosphere!"

"Waterville Public Library is honored to receive a full-size original oil interpretation of Van Gogh’s Starry Night as a gift from MVAS member, Nicholas Dudish."

"In another act of MVAS generosity, Garvis deLauro presents to the Library an exquisite collage of his images of the September 27, 2015 Super Harvest Blood Moon total eclipse!"
