Description
We're sorry, but this activity is over. The last meeting was Friday, April 12, 2024.
Participants are invited to enjoy a beautiful desert evening under the stars and learn about some of the objects visible in the night sky. NASA Solar System Ambassador, Mark Johnston (Instagram: @azastroguy), will highlight the evening’s visible objects, including planets, multiple star systems, globular clusters and nebulae through a high-end refractor telescope, while providing a running commentary and fielding questions from the group. Beginners are welcome as the explanations will be kept at a novice level. No hiking is required. Participants are encouraged to bring binoculars, small penlight flashlight and a folding chair for seating. Program duration is approximately 1.5 hours.
