For one weekend a month from June through August, MLC will open its observatories to the public at sunset.

Each evening’s presentation will be different. Members of MLC’s staff and volunteers from the Helena Astronomical Society will be on hand to operate the telescopes and answer questions in the observatories.July 21st Speaker:Shawn Backbone is a member of the Apsáalooke/Crow Tribe.
