Join astronomers in the world-famous Hayden Planetarium as they provide details on how to observe the night sky, using our state-of-the-art Zeiss IX planetarium projector. Then, weather permitting, head outside to the Arthur Ross Terrace to observe celestial objects.
Participants are welcome to bring their own binoculars and telescopes.
This event will be followed by a star party on the Arthur Ross Terrace co-hosted by the Amateur Astronomers Association.
