SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12th, 2026 7:30PM
32 NEW ASHFORD ROAD, WILLIAMSTOWN, MA
Join us on Saturday, September 12th at 7:30pm at the Williamstown Historical Museum for an evening of astronomy with the Northern Berkshire Astronomical Society! Northern Berkshire Astronomical Society member Dr. Bob Donahue will present a lecture on the remarkable discoveries made over the past 30 years in the study of exoplanets: planets orbiting stars beyond our Solar System. The lecture will be followed by a Q&A and, weather permitting, a stargazing session.
Since the 1990s, astronomers have confirmed more than 6,000 exoplanets. What are these distant worlds like? Are any of them like Earth? Is our Solar System unusual? And what are we likely to learn next?
Come learn more about the worlds beyond our Solar System and join members of the Northern Berkshire Astronomical Society for an opportunity to explore the night sky.
