As telescopes of the Astronomers of Verde Valley look overhead into the night sky after sunset, the wonders of the Milky Way will come to life through the eyes of the telescopes. Large nebula, globular clusters, exploded stars, double stars and even galaxies will be seen. Our own Milky Way galaxy will stretch from the southern horizon to the north eastern horizon with its stream of billions of stars overhead. 

We might be able to grab a quick glimpse of the red planet Mars as it sets to the west and nearing the end of the viewing session there may be some views of the ringed planet Saturn with Neptune close by.

 

Time: 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Please arrive by 6:00 p.m. 

Fee:  $16 per person (reservations required)

Registration is open from Tuesday, August 12th through Friday, September 12th.
