Astronomy Event. Need advice.

My brother sent me this. I actually live really close to where this is happening. About two hours away, maybe less.

Do you think it’s something I should try to attend? If so, how do you think I can attend it?

Sorry, I must’ve misread the article. I thought it was an event of some kind.

I can see how I misread it, though. There’s a lot of stress going on. I had to make a trip up to Spokane Washington, and I’ve been up here for a week helping my grandparents move down to where I live. They’re moving in with us.

A lot of stress.

Thanks for pointing that out. If an event does come up, I will try to attend.
