Wed., July 5, 9:00-10:30pm
Family Stargazing: 
Astronomy and Telescope Night

This month is a great opportunity to view both Jupiter and Saturn for the rest of 2017!

>>Telescopes will be available, and you can bring your own binoculars.

Program:

• At 9:00pm, there will be a short presentation about astronomy, describing the different telescopes we have;
• When it is dark (about 9:30pm), we will go outdoors for an observing session.

Jupiter and Saturn will be visible by eye and by telescope. The moon will be in a gibbous phase – many craters will be visible, as well as most of the lunar “seas.” If you’ve never seen the moon through a telescope, this will be a special treat. The photo shown above was taken using a cell phone through our smallest scope.
