Please join us after sunset for a tour of the late Spring night sky. Telescopes will be set up or bring your own and join us. The planets Jupiter and Venus are visible soon after sunset. Other objects to view include the globular cluster M5 (a giant sphere of stars), La Superba (a red, super giant star), M13 (Hercules Cluster) and M92. NGC4563 the Cat's Eye Nebula will be excellent as will The Ring Nebula after 10:00pm. Both of these are beautiful remnants of sunlike stars which have died and blown off glorious shells of gas.
Dress for the weather and please keep in mind restroom facilities are not available. FREE & FAMILY FRIENDLY! Weather related updates will be posted on May 23 if needed. Note: Due to scheduling conflicts, we are having this public night on the 4th Saturday instead of our usual 3rd Saturday.
