Observe planets and the Moon in all its cratered glory at different phases during this family-friendly program.
Explore the science, history, and mythology of the moon in conjunction with the exhibition “Stories from the Library: The Mirror of the Moon.” Educators from Skies Away will provide high-powered telescopes and binoculars for observation. They will also give a green laser-guided constellation tour and answer questions on buying telescopes.
