We are very excited about the opening of the John Glenn Astronomy Park, for many different reasons. I will only list the most essential ones, as the list can get pretty long. Firstly, it promotes the science of observational astronomy and outreach, secondly, it raises awareness to Ohioans about our place in the Cosmos, thirdly, it is located in Hocking Hills, in our backyard! I might be wrong, but I believe that is only the second observatory there besides our privately run Asteria Remote. JGAP is a true endorsement of Hocking Hill's quality night sky. We are looking forward to frequent there on weekends, volunteer and share our love for the stars.
