The Hardin County Astronomy Club is hosting a "First Light" viewing event on Tuesday, July 12 to celebrate that day’s unveiling of the first images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope.
The event begins at 5:00 p.m. in the Veterans Meeting Hall at the courthouse in Kenton, and all are welcome to attend.
