Experience an afternoon in the planetarium featuring a Summer Night Sky Tour followed by a NEW FILM to be announced soon! Program length is one hour.

Summer Night Sky Tour - live

Take a tour of the summer night sky as seen from here in New England. Find astronomical objects that may or may not be easily seen in traditional suburban skies. Some objects will be familiar, such as planets in our solar system, while others such as nebulae, star clusters, and distant galaxies may be less familiar. Explore our Milky Way Galaxy and the greater cosmos beyond our local space.

NEW film ANNOUNCED SOON!

The rebooted project has been described as about 20 percent smaller in square footage and about $1.62 million or 4 percent less expensive than the prior proposal, using dollars not adjusted for inflation.…. Is this really better?

No. But it’s only going to get worse. Just like it would have been better to build a combined station. Let’s just vote Yes before it gets any worse.

Get worse? It did. This latest plan is a farce. 40,000,000? So much for the steering committee doing their research. Anybody take the time to read the opponent's reference in the question #10 mailing from the town? His example being what thery did in Rockland? About what we could get for so much less.

Yay Westwood! To look up whether specific items are recyclable in our carts (only clean paper, cardboard, bottles, cans and rigid containers), check out the searchable Recyclopedia here https://recyclesmartma.org/

Has there been a breakdown of how much of the contaminated recycling comes from commercial vs. residential recycling bins?
