July 12: “Inner Space”
Observe the sunset from the museum roof deck! Starting with safe views of the Sun, the Museum’s July event will lend a chance to see our elusive neighbors near the center of our Solar System – Venus, the goddess of love, and Mercury, the messenger – as the brightest stars come out to celebrate our first astronomy evening of the summer.
August 9: “Magnificent Moonset”
Sneak a peek at the mountains and valleys of a crescent moon as it follows planet Venus to set in the west. After dark, learn the basics of naked-eye stargazing, then take a closer look through our scopes at stars of every size, distance and color.
September 6: “Saturn Rising”
Don’t miss this view of the Solar System’s most striking planet! Get a close-up view of Saturn as it shines in the nighttime sky, and keep an eye out for the largest of its many mysterious moons. With the sun setting earlier, guests will get extra time to hunt for deep sky objects such as star clusters and nebulae.
