Astronomy: The Equinox, Solstice, and Earth's Journey
6:30 PM
Ron Stewart Preserve at Rabbit Mountain
Description:

Why do days grow shorter, longer, warmer, or colder? Join us to explore Earth’s yearly trip around the Sun and how it creates seasons, equinoxes, and solstices. Volunteer naturalists will break it down with clear visuals and everyday examples to help make sense of the year's rhythms.

Presentations will be at the picnic shelter, followed by stargazing in the parking area. The Longmont Astronomical Society provides telescopes. Bring a chair or blanket, a light jacket, and a red flashlight, and get ready to enjoy a night under the stars!
