Westport Observatory
@WestportObservatory@vmst.io
The Westport Observatory, run by the volunteers of the Westport Astronomical Society brings the night sky down to the thousands who visit annually. We’re a non-profit that’s free and open to the public every Wednesday night from 8-10 pm if the skies are clear. We do suggest a donation of $5 per person if you're not a member. In-person or zoom lectures on the 3rd Tuesday monthly. #Astronomy #Observatory #WestportCT #WestportObservatory #nonprofit #astrophotography #WestportAstronomicalSociety

Don't miss our next free lecture! Join us May 19 at 8pm as MIT aerospace engineer Erik S. Bailey — veteran of multiple NASA Mars landings — takes us on a whirlwind history of robotic planetary landers from 1966 to today. Hear from the engineer who helped make it happen at the Westport Observatory or join live on Zoom & YouTube. Free & open to all!

I still haven't escaped my mindset of only vibe coding on simple and/or throwaway scripts, but this is nifty:
