The full Moon, Mars, & Venus will form a spectacular triangle in the night sky once the sun sets on the longest day of the year.

The meadow at Niles Cabin is a welcoming space for astronomical observations. This event is NOT a structured program, but an invitation to relax and view the wonders of the night sky. Email (center@friendswilderness.org) if you would like to camp overnight or enjoy breakfast after the show.
