Vanderbilt Dyer Observatory's new continuing education series, Astronomy for Adults, is now accepting registrations. The series will cover a wide range of astronomy topics and each course will include a mix of discussions, experiments using observatory equipment and observations through the Seyfert Telescope. The series will be taught by Dyer Observatory's resident astronomer, Billy Teets.

Courses will take place from 6 to 10 p.m. on the first Tuesday of the month, beginning March 5 and running through Nov. 5. Please note that class will not be held in May or July. The cost for each session is $150. A box supper is included. Each course stands alone, so attendees may tailor the series to their interests and schedule.
