Well… guess I’ll get back to my lazy Saturday and continue reading Dan Brown’s latest mediocre book I’m reading. At least its plot is still somewhat of a mystery at a halfway point. #NFL #blowout #danbrown #cloudynights

A person in a mustard yellow shirt raising a clenched fist under a cloudy night sky with stars.

🌧️ Once again, the clouds are calling the shots. Wednesday night’s sky is off-limits, and the Westport Observatory will be CLOSED. Don’t worry—those stars can’t hide forever, and we’ll be back as soon as the skies clear! ✨🔭 https://was-ct.org/

Dark night sky with sad-faced stars scattered among clouds and tiny twinkling stars.

☁️ The clouds have staged a coup—our stars are looking downright gloomy tonight 😢✨ With no moon to help, the sky has shut us down. The Westport Observatory will be CLOSED this evening. We’ll wait for clearer skies to bring back the sparkle!

Dark night sky with scattered stars and wispy clouds, featuring the Westport Astronomical Society's 50th anniversary logo since 1975 in the top left corner.

🔭 Observatory Closed (Again) Alert!
Apparently, the clouds signed a long-term lease over Westport and aren’t leaving anytime soon. So once again, the WAS Weekly Wednesday Star Party is rained out.

See you next week—unless the clouds unionize.
