Hardin County Talks is an ongoing initiative that brings together community members to discuss issues of shared interest. On Tuesday, April 24, at 6 pm at Kenton High School, there will be a county-wide discussion on the role of schools in addressing issues of race.
Topics covered will include faculty diversity and what is being done to ensure that the faculty and staff are representative of the community. The goal is to highlight current initiatives in our schools and understand how those attending might support and strengthen them.
The ONU Astronomy Club invites Icon viewers to the ONU Observatory on Friday, April 20, for our "Craters of the Moon" event, according to Dr. Jason Pinkney, observatory director.
He said: "Stop by any time between 9 and 11 p.m. to look through our telescopes or ask questions about the night sky."
On this night, the crescent Moon will be high in the southwest, well placed for view ing. The phase is a good one for seeing interesting lunar featuressuch as the double crater Messier, and Mare Tranquillitatus, where Apollo 11 landed.
Other targets will include Venus, double stars andstar clusters.
