Ron Stewart Preserve at Rabbit Mountain
Description:
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.

Summer is a great time to view the Milky Way, our home galaxy. Where is our solar system in the galaxy? Why do the planets and moon not follow the same path as the stars we see as the Milky Way?

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.
