Sky Observing Nights: Oct 10

Join us in the Planetarium for a free extended star talk, then we'll drive to Washington Crossing State Park for live viewing.

The Oct. 10 program begins in the Planetarium at 6:15 pm; a second program on Oct. 24 program begins at 6:00 pm. We’ll discuss what is visible in the night sky that evening, with an extra focus on deep sky objects that are observable with telescopes. After the star talk ends around 7:15 pm, we will drive to Washington Crossing State Park where the Amateur Astronomer’s Association of Princeton has the Simpson Observatory. There, we will use the historic telescopes maintained by the club to view the objects we discussed. For directions to the Simpson Observatory see https://princetonastronomy.org/public_nights. Dress warmly, as it cools off significantly after sunset!
