Reply to A place to rent telescopes? by Mumbles76

Boston public library is doing a “star party” event next Tuesday (3/28) at the Boston Nature Center in Mattapan. They will have telescopes available for use there and it’s geared towards kids/families.

I know the Mattapan branch of the library was supposed to start renting out telescopes but I am not sure if that is underway yet.

I found this good picture of it because I also had no idea what it means specifically. Like I know train tracks are dangerous, but IF the 3rd rail was fine to touch and you put me on the tracks and told me to touch the 3rd rail, I would have no idea what to touch.

Saw them at world’s end in hingham near sunset last summer and it was like, unbelievable. I hadn’t seen any in ages and thought they weren’t around anymore.

Reply to Chestnut picking? by envyu27

If you find out, let me know. I came across a random tree recently and picked some off the ground and I’m like, why am I not seeing more of these?? I think the answer is possibly some sort of tree disease that wiped a bunch of chestnut trees out in the past but still, disappointing.
