ReStore Community Center celebrated its 10th anniversary on Tuesday evening with more than 100 people in attendance for dinner, birthday cake, and to hear several speakers who have been involved with the effort from Day One or who are among today's leaders.

Uranus and Neptune 8 to 10 p.m.

The ONU Astronomy Club will host a free event for the public at the ONU Observatory on Friday, Nov 4, from 8-10 p.m., according to Dr. Jason Pinkney, professor of Physics and Astronomy.

The theme is "The Blue Planets: Uranus and Neptune." The outermost two Jovian planets both have bluish hues attributed to methane in their atmospheres.  Each planet has an interesting history and unique characteristics.  Uranus is tilted about 98 degrees onto its side so it has the most extreme seasons.
