Winter Solstice and Telescope Party

Winter Solstice

Join Museum astronomers and members of the Amateur Astronomers Association for the final night of the autumn season. First, see a “sneak preview” of the night sky in the Hayden Planetarium Space Theater. Weather permitting, head out to the Arthur Ross Terrace for observations of celestial objects such as Jupiter and the Moon. Participants are welcome to bring their own binoculars and telescopes.
