Astronomy: Intro to Stargazing

Saturday, January 25, 2025

5:00 p.m.–6:00 p.m.

Winter is a prime season for stargazing. The cold air clears the night sky of clouds and creates ideal conditions for seeing the stars, planets, and other celestial highlights. Learn some of the basics of viewing stars, constellations and planets. This week marks the start of a rare, limited opportunity to view Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus in the same night sky.
