Astronomy in the Park

Description

On Friday, June 19th from 8 to 10:30 pm (weather permitting), join members of the NEWSTAR Astronomy Club for an evening of viewing the night sky. From 8:00 to 9:00 pm, guests will have an opportunity to do a few astronomy activities. 

As it get dark, a brief tour of the night sky will be conducted and guests will then have the opportunity to look through several telescopes to view the Moon, planets, and deep sky objects like star clusters, galaxies, and nebulae. 

This program is suitable for most ages and all are welcome to attend. All children must be accompanied by an adult. We ask that all guests please refrain from using white light (including phones, and other electronics)! We will provide red covers for smaller handheld flashlights while supplies last.
