Description
Find your way around the night sky as we examine the many constellations and learn how to discover where a planet will be on a given night. Following classroom instruction, we'll carpool to a 'dark sky' observing site, where we can examine the night sky with minimal light pollution and through a telescope (class is timed to view the moon, planets, and Perseid meteor shower). We'll also cover what to look for in a telescope and other equipment. Each participant will receive a star chart and planisphere, essential for stargazing. Please bring a flashlight and binoculars.
