 June reveals many planets in the evening and nighttime sky. Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and Mercury will grace the evening sky. In addition, the moon will be in a favorable phase for observing. Amateur astronomer, Nick Guydosh, will set up a telescope at Waterman Center for viewing these objects. Before observing, Nick will give a short program on how to find objects in the sky using a star map (provided for all) and some fascinating information on astronomy. If it is cloudy, there will still be a program with additional astronomically related material and demos. $3 adults, $2 children, $10 family maximum Reservations required.
