We are now in the midst of summer, and its time to say, "See Ya, Saturn."
Get here by 9 pm if you want a glimpse of the ringed planet in our telescope before it dips below the walls. Afterward, check out cool red stars, and hot blue stars; stay for the magnificent stellar nurseries, like the Swan Nebula, and the Lagoon Nebula; marvel at the beauty of stellar death in the Dumb-Bell Nebula, and the blown-up remnants of the Veil Nebula - travel light years away to crowded star-clusters and peer at the edges of our own Milky Way galaxy! Join us as we hop around to other neighboring galaxies millions of light years away! Then look up and make a wish upon random meteors! Relax in the Shoemaker Open-Sky Planetarium while learning the constellations with us, every dark night around 10 pm, and come back down to earth and enjoy our beautiful moon every month.
See you soon!
We are open Thursday through Sunday, clear nights. Please note, our hours have changed: 8 pm to 10:45 pm.
