Bring your telescope for expert tips or explore the night sky through ours! Enjoy hands-on activities and stargazing.
Tonight’s program is all about telescopes. Do you have a telescope at home that you aren’t quite sure how to use? Bring it with you for help from our astronomy volunteers. Or learn how to use one of the museum’s dobsonian telescope. Hands-on activities and skywatching as well. Jupiter may be in view.
