Description:
Join volunteer naturalists and astronomers from the Longmont Astronomical Society for a series of summer night astronomy programs. Together we'll learn about the night skies and view the celestial bodies residing in our galaxy and beyond.

Let’s talk about our amazing moon! We’ll discuss its craters and mountains, and human interactions. We'll also discuss its interactions with the sun and earth, the interactions that create solar and lunar eclipses. The presentation is at the picnic shelter.

Bring a chair or blanket, a light jacket, and a red flashlight, and get ready to enjoy a night out with the family. The presentation is at the picnic shelter. It is followed by stargazing in the parking area. Telescopes are provided by the Longmont Astronomical Society.
