Escape from the light pollution of the city and experience the wonder of dark, starry night skies. Explore the solar system as we look at the moon and planets through a telescope with amateur astronomers John Starr and Jim Gasser, and discover the science of our closest celestial neighbors. Bring a camp chair (optional), and dress for the weather in layers.

Adults and 8+
